Shep Hyken sits down with Nick Mehta, CEO of Gainsight. They discuss why you should be proactive instead of reactive, how the subscription model is shaping customer loyalty, and why making your customers happy is no longer enough.

 Shep Hyken’s opening monologue is about consistency. Three important points:Your product has to meet the customer s needs every time.Your omni-channel presence must have a consistent experience.The attitude of the employees must be consistent.Top Takeaways:You have to proactively ensure that you’re delivering success to your customers. If you wait until they call you to voice their complaints, it may be too late.Because of the subscription model and the numerous options available to consumers, they don’t have to be loyal to any one company. If you can’t deliver your customer’s desired outcome, they will find someone else who can.Keeping your customers happy isn’t enough anymore. Today, they have to get more value from you than they can get anywhere else. This is why Jeff Bezos says he isn’t scared of his competitors. He’s scared of his customers, because they have the choice to leave every day.Companies are realizing that they need somebody whose job is to ensure customers are getting maximum value. According to LinkedIn, the third fastest growing job title in 2018 is Customer Success Manager.You have to proactively ensure your customers are achieving their desired outcome. Three ways to do that are:Start at the beginning of the process by on-boarding the customer and getting them up to speed on how to use your product/service.Ask them what it will take for them to continue doing business with you in the future.Reach out to them over time to make sure they’re getting value and reaching their desired outcomes.About:
