TABLE OF CONTENTS


Internal Process Categories

Welcome to your new role!

We will divide the CS Account Management lifecycle in the following categories:

Onboarding

This is the starting point for all new accounts. CSMs get accounts assigned to them depending on their role, and it is their duty to provide the customers with the correct expectations, information and experience. A great start sets off to a strong foundation for our relationship with customers. Onboarding consists of the following stages:

Account Creation

When an opportunity comes in as Close Won and services included are Learning, Compliance, and/or Credentialing Software, the assigned CSM will be in charge of onboarding the customer. The CS Operations department will step in to set up and assign all new accounts. Here is the process below for visibility:

MT-CS-001: Account Creation and CSM Assignment

Onboarding

Once an account gets assigned by CS Operations, the designated CSM will step in to begin the welcome process with the account: onboarding call, KYC, setting up expectations, and providing system training.

Training Sessions

The SOPs below pertains mainly to Core and Strategic CSMs. If you’re a digital CSM, please refer to the https://medtrainer.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSKB/pages/edit-v2/4227465217?draftShareId=d7a15a9f-ea85-4c9f-b0ec-fb8ff522edfa#Digital-CSMs section

Adoption and Relationship Improvement

This stage is what follows Onboarding in the account management lifecycle. We check in on how our relationship with our customers is so we can:

  • Address any areas of improvement and make any necessary adjustments

  • Strengthen and expand our partnership with them

Adoption

When the Onboarding Process for an account is completed (meaning all training sessions have been taken care of), the assigned CSM will be in charge of the Adoption Stage. This process will provide you with the necessary tools, overviews, and periodically checking in with the admin(s). The goal is to know what the health of the account relationship in, and step in to address any issues or strengthen the partnership.

MT-CS-003-04: Adoption

Retention & Upsell

This process provides a structured process for proactively engaging with customers, in order to maximize their lifetime value and increase overall customer satisfaction, while effectively avoiding churn. It will be a guideline for:

  • Defining the goals and objectives of the retention and upsell process, including key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be used to measure success.

  • Identifying the customer segments that will be targeted for retention and upsell efforts.

  • Outlining the various retention and upsell strategies that will be used, such as proactive outreach and expansion pipeline.

  • Establishing a process for tracking and analyzing customer behavior and engagement data to identify opportunities for retention and upsell.

  • Establishing guidelines and best practices for customer engagement, including how to communicate with customers, when to offer additional users or products, and how to handle challenging customer situations.
