Customer Success Leader of the Year
The Customer Success Leader of the Year could be someone who’s given a kick-ass presentation or penned an article that inspired a "eureka" moment for you. Perhaps they’re just awesome on LinkedIn. Either way, they’re an all-out champion of customer success.
If you know someone who fits the bill, here’s the opportunity to cast your vote and nominate them as Customer Success Leader of the Year. 👑
Best Customer Success Tool
Okay, this one goes out to the company that provides the best CS software solution. Earlier this year, we produced a go-to directory for the favored tools of customer success professionals: from tools used for segmentation and gathering feedback, to ones that detect churn.
What’s your ride-or-die customer success tool? If there’s a program that you couldn’t live without, cast your vote to spread the word of its majesty! 🔧
Customer Success Rising Star
Customer success is a proactive, forward-thinking discipline focused on outcomes. By that definition, it’s hardly surprising that we should shout out the new blood coursing through the veins of CS.
If someone you know has just started their career in CS and is making big waves, sling a nomination their way and give them the kudos they deserve. To quote the iconic Manchester band, The Stone Roses, “The past is yours, but the future’s mine!” 🍋
Customer Success Team of the Year
Finally, this award is a special one. It’s for the best customer success team. Have you got one in mind? No person is an island, and teamwork certainly does make the dream work. Customer success flourishes with the help and dedication of other team members, from that sense of community.
Whether your team is smashing its KPIs out of the park, or simply has a close-knit culture, if you’re lucky enough to work in the world’s best CS team, then shout it from the rooftops! 🥇
