Key Takeaways

- Gowri believes customer experience is defined as a process of creating a positive association with a brand which can only be accomplished by a thorough interaction with your customers
- Customer success is derived by helping customers reap maximum benefit from client’s products that should help the customers resolve their issues, from the beginning till the end
- While customer experience and success have a direct link, they are two integral parts of the structure
- Initially, the way Knowledgebase Ninjas’ would help their customers was by imparting them through video and help content, looking at various options and identifying tools to help customers find their way and solutions
- The initial idea was centred on a problem they faced for which they prescribed and built a solution. It was then used as a platform to take in feedback and adjust clientele needs to the product which resulted in the production of multiple items
- Realising customers’ pain points helps a lot in relating better with the customer and addressing their needs
- The providers need to be upfront with the customers to secure them as permanent clients
- Many a time, customer requirements and needs fit so perfectly that the origins of their product stem from that
- It is important to build a level of interaction and connection with the client to ensure customers’ retention. Keeping connected with the customers is just as important even after a sale is made to ensure that they stay with you
- Looking after customers from the start till after the end is incredibly important given the current subscription model.
