Everything in customer success is changing. That’s a good thing—it’s a sign of maturity in our industry. And, most changes have been more opportunistic than anything. Customer success emerges as the hero to bring companies out of a down market. However, in the wise words of Stan Lee: with great power comes great responsibility.

Under the pressure of burning questions

The spotlight on CS has certainly increased the pressure to perform, all while experiencing budget cuts across technology, headcount and innovation. And this has led to the big, burning industry-wide dilemma today: How do you do more with less? This challenging statement manifests in many ways across the CS business, including:

• How do you keep your customers with less headcount to support them? 
• How do you expand customers without using or purchasing a new sales tool? 
• How do you scale customer experiences without sacrificing quality?
• How do you stay on top of a customer’s every move in such an unpredictable market?
• How do you build value with less, while customers seek to cut costs?

To empower our customers in the face of this challenge, Catalyst’s Product and Engineering teams committed to building powerful tech-touch workflows that scale your CS best practices automatically—helping leaders drive efficiency across their team to reduce costs while expanding performance excellence. And we’re thrilled to release to our customers, and to the market, the most intuitive and scalable tech-touch automation with Catalyst Playbook Sequencing. 

It’s time to automate more so you can be more human

We know it’s critical to bring retention-driven CS flows and revenue-focused automations together. Combined, these two forces create a supercharged platform for customer success. And that’s exactly what we set out to build in our Playbook Sequencing automation. Catalyst’s advanced tech-touch automations will accelerate your engagements with low-touch accounts and strengthen winning behaviors with enterprise customers. You can create in-depth, dynamic Playbook paths based on a customer’s unique profile to deliver personalized experiences that target specific outcomes. Plus, using advanced logic, Sequences will further customize your Playbook engagements based on changes to a customer’s data and/or behavior–automatically. 

As a result, you save time managing customers and drive faster results, without requiring additional resources. 

In particular, here are five reasons why Catalyst’s new Playbook Sequencing will uplevel your strategy: it helps you automate touchpoints, amplify performance, make CSMs more efficient, drive operational savings, and enable more seamless change management.

Finally, don’t forget that in tandem with Catalyst’s market-leading Journey Builder, you can manage the entire customer journey with absolute precision – all within a single platform – to truly do more with less.

Here’s what customers are already saying

“Playbook sequencing is gorgeous! What’s amazing is that the Catalyst team thought just as much about ease of use and intuitive design as they did about delivering truly impactful features. The care that they put into the exit override, re-entry, and pause/enable/disable rules demonstrates just how much Catalyst is in touch with the needs of their customers.”
