Senior Customer Success Manager

Jan 2021 - now

  • As workstream lead, 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.
  • With responsibility for the review standard, 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.
  • Built a customer success plan around activation milestones, reviewed Salesforce usage reports with the administrator, and resolved an onboarding blocker before the renewal discussion.
  • Owned an account success-plan review using Salesforce adoption records, resolved missing customer commitments and completed the training handoff before renewal planning.
  • 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 Manager

Mar 2016 - Dec 2020

  • Turned recurring workflow gaps into quantified expansion plans; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams. Working with partner teams, shortened the path from qualified interest to a decision.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Prepared a fictional account plan from public company information, separated verified facts from discovery questions, and mapped the buyer, implementation owner and approval dependencies without inventing a signed opportunity.
  • 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.
  • Owned the simulated account review using a structured discovery rubric, resolved contradictory buying assumptions and completed a proposal with explicit customer success criteria.
