1
Want to know what a customer success manager is?
2
I'm Brian Rios from Wall & Case, and in this video, you will learn everything you need to know about being a customer success manager in SaaS and IT.
3
What it is, what they do, and the skills you need to land a job as a CSM.
4
As a bonus, I'm gonna answer some frequently asked questions that we get about customer success.
5
So what is a customer success manager?
6
Being a customer success manager, as the name suggests, means making sure that your customers are finding success using your product or service.
7
This could be guiding them through the onboarding process or implementation, showing them features that they aren't fully using or aren't using at all,
8
and coaching them on how they can improve their business even more by using your product.
9
You'll constantly be meeting your clients, going over their results, and showing them how to be even more successful using your solution.
10
Vendor lock -in.
11
This is one of the key parts of being a customer success manager.
12
You want to make sure your clients are so successful using your product that you create vendor lock -in, which is a scary way of saying
13
that they feel they would be losing too much if they ever tried to stop using your solution.
14
So what are a CSM's targets and KPI?
15
Your goal as a customer success manager will be to maintain and grow the customer's satisfaction.
16
This can be measured in your NPS, Net Promoter Score, through customer satisfaction surveys or churn rate.
17
Churn is the term for customers leaving your product or service instead of renewing.
18
So your churn rate is just the rate that your customers are leaving.
19
Sales targets.
20
Most CSMs don't have direct sales targets, but they do have upsell or cross -sell KPI, which means you will sell additional features, services, or upgrades to your clients.
21
You'll also have renewal targets, so keeping your customers successful means keeping them relying on your product, which in turn means that they will renew their contract or subscription.
22
So what skills do you need to be a CSM?
23
A customer success manager has two sides.
24
A technical side, which requires hard skills, and a client -facing side, which needs soft skills.
25
Hard skills.
26
Your technical skills needed will vary depending on the type of product you are working with.
27
Most companies will offer training on their specific solution after you join, but having a base to build on is always a really good idea.
28
Soft skills.
29
Because a CSM is a very client -facing role, you will need to not only be able to read data,
30
but also communicate your findings with your clients to help them understand what is working and what is not working.
31
The best CSMs even anticipate the problems that might come up and solve them before they become an issue.
32
Some of the key soft skills you're going to need are active listening, communication, coaching, and presentation skills.
33
Does this sound exciting to you?

35
Career progression.
36
Being a customer success manager gives you skills on both the technical side and the client -facing side.
37
So there are a few directions you can go.
38
The first and most straightforward is to become a leader of a customer success team.
39
This would be titles like customer success director, head of customer success, or the more recent executive position of chief customer officer.
40
Another option would be to move towards the technical side of things
41
and become a solutions architect or solutions engineer or something similar that takes customer needs and productizes them.
42
Productize means creating custom solutions based on your client requests.
43
You could also move towards a more sales heavy role that is growth focused, using your soft skills to build a business
44
and your understanding of the technical side to better illustrate the benefits of a product.
45
Alternative titles.
46
Customer success can have different titles depending on the company.
47
These include technical account manager, client services manager, client success manager, client solutions manager, or a solutions consultant, just to name a few.
48
Frequently asked questions.
49
What is the difference between customer success and customer service?
50
I like to think of the difference as being proactive versus being reactive.
51
As a customer success manager, you will need to be engaging with your customers on a
52
daily basis to make sure they're reaping the full benefits of your solution and solving problems before they even happen.
53
Customer service, on the other hand, is more about responding to the issues that your customers are already experiencing
54
and taking care of any complaints that they may have.
55
So what is the difference between a CSM and an account manager?
56
Here, the main difference is the technical aspects of the role.
57
As a customer success manager, you'll be more involved in the implementation of the product
58
and there's an expectation that you have the ability to dive deeper into the solutions that the product offers.
59
Whereas an account manager will also handle the reporting, but it will generally be through available dashboards.
60
Another difference is that the account manager can be a sales role with sales targets based on sales results, but customer success will usually not have a commission structure or a bonus.
61

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
