This episode of Clari Playbook is brought to us by Diana Cappello, Clari Manager of Sales Engineering.

One of the most critical components of a successful customer success organization is communication with sales.

The sales team spends a lot of time building relationships, and they don’t ride off into the sunset with the customer after contracts are finalized. Customer success and account managers need visibility into everything about a customer, at the time of handoff and as the customer enters renewals and upsells.

In a recent episode of Clari’s The Forecast, Nick Mehta, the CEO of Gainsight, shares how the SaaS subscription model has ignited a major shift from customer service to customer success.

“Customer success acknowledges that customers aren’t bound to your company.” Mehta says, “If they aren’t happy, they can end their subscription—and the revenue they send your way. That’s why growth-minded companies invest heavily in the customer success category and place the buyer at the center of the business.”

To achieve this, customer success, account managers, and sales engineers need to track key data points like an account’s or opportunity’s activity engagement in order to prioritize their time and foster long term loyalty with the right key contacts. They need to know what’s happening in their business to forecast confidently.

At Clari, we use this real-time visibility to populate our own type of forecast:

Customer Renewals + Upsells - Churn = Net Retention
