Don’t just “check in”
Do your customers want their CSMs to “check in” with them? Probably not: your customers are busy (as you are) and they want to budget their time wisely. So requests for a check-in meeting are likely to yield a big fat no, or worse, no response. Instead, propose:
- To review a specific aspect of their experience with your product (“I’d like to show you how you can increase your conversion rate”)
- To discuss relevant news on your end (in other words, not “we have a new release” but “our new release includes the new feature about X that you had asked about and I’d like to present it to you”)
- To bring a new player up to speed (“I’d like to spend 30 minutes with your new campaign manager to present our solution and results”)
- To learn more about changes on their end (“I’d like to understand how we can help you meet your goals this quarter”)
- To share pertinent industry news (“I went to an industry conference and saw some new ideas I’d like to share with you”)
