Here are eight sessions happening at the ReUp 2022 Customer Success Summit you can’t afford to miss.
If you’re in Customer Success, you deserve to pat yourself on the back once in a while.
Customer success pulls a company through the bad times. You are the guardians of revenue, earned and expanded. That is a very. big. deal.
But as guardians of the (revenue) galaxy, you have a responsibility to learn. Continuously. It is the burden you must bear—to lead your companies forward through growth, you have to be ahead of the curve.
With that noble requirement in mind, here are eight sessions happening at the ReUp 2022 Customer Success Summit you can’t afford to miss.

1. Doing More With Less In CS

- Brendan Cahoon, VP, CS at Catchpoint;

2. Three Pillars to Scale White-Glove Onboarding to Every Customer
What it’s about: are only your highest-paying customers getting VIP treatment during onboarding? Learn the 3-pillar strategy for delivering a white-glove onboarding experience to any customer type, at any scale, and doesn't require hiring an army of managers.
Who is speaking:
- Paul Holder, Co-founder and CEO at OnRamp.
Why you can’t afford to miss it: when customers have a great onboarding experience, they are 12% to 21% more willing to pay for your solution in the future. That’s a huge bump to retention right from day one—this panel shows you how to make everyone feel like a VIP.

Why you can’t afford to miss it: well, the world is changing… rapidly. It’s also growing, but not necessarily in the direction we all thought. This talk will share how to manage that reality and come out thriving.
5. What Your Customers Aren't Telling You…
What it’s about: at some point, every CS leader has seen a churn and thought either “they seemed happy” or “they never said they were unhappy.” This talk navigates through those two comments and explains how data can reveal what your customers aren’t telling you, helping you to change their minds before they've even decided to leave.
Who is speaking:
- Adrian Barley, Operations Manager at Cognism.
Why you can’t afford to miss it: churn is a sensitive topic. But you need to learn from it when it happens to minimize the risk of even more accounts churning based on the things they didn’t tell you.

Why you can’t afford to miss it: 1Password is a huge company that’s making big waves—learn directly from how they did it, not some best practice worksheet that’s never been tested before.
