Junior Customer Success Manager

Jul 2025 - now

  • With a senior colleague reviewing the change, built a customer success plan with customer stakeholders, defining the workflow to adopt, its owner, and a measurable usage milestone; distinguished a completed training session from sustained adoption.
  • Within an assigned workstream, linked CRM health notes to support history and stakeholder commitments; escalated a renewal risk with the missing decision, accountable owner, and recovery plan rather than only a red account label.
  • Within the assigned scope, built a customer success plan around activation milestones, reviewed Salesforce usage reports with the administrator, and resolved an onboarding blocker before the renewal discussion.
  • Within the assigned scope, owned an account success-plan review using Salesforce adoption records, resolved missing customer commitments and completed the training handoff before renewal planning.
  • Within the assigned scope, built a revenue-risk forecast using account-management evidence, reduced unexplained forecast changes by 23% and published the assumptions behind each customer-success intervention.

Customer Success Project Contributor

Mar 2024 - Jun 2025

  • The team turned recurring workflow gaps into quantified expansion plans; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review. The team shortened the path from qualified interest to a decision; documented my assigned work separately from the team result and confirmed it with a senior colleague.
  • Within the assigned scope, recorded customer objections with supporting call notes, agreed a specific next step with the account owner, and updated the CRM only when the customer confirmed the change.
  • Within the assigned scope, prepared an account handover linking the customer’s stated objective, the committed scope and unresolved objections. Reviewed it with the receiving owner so a verbal promise was not mistaken for an approved contract change.

  • Built a sample value case with explicit adoption and cost assumptions, stress-tested a delayed rollout, and prepared a discovery guide showing which customer answers would invalidate the commercial proposal.
