FreeAmplifying Success: Guy Nirpaz on Creating Winning Strategies
Join us for an insightful discussion with Guy Nirpaz, founder of Totango and current CEO of Perspective AI, who successfully raised $146 million to drive innovation in the Customer Success landscape.
Over the past few years, the conversation around Customer Success in SaaS and subscription businesses has evolved through three major shifts: from justifying its establishment as a separate function to defining its role within organizations and now to implementing best-in-class strategies.
Guy will explore how to transition Customer Success organizations from a defensive strategy focused on reducing churn to an offensive approach that emphasizes growth and innovation. He will highlight the importance of creating unique customer experiences that anticipate needs and recognizing customer achievements to build a culture of success.
This event is perfect for founders, leaders, and anyone involved in Customer Success eager to redefine their approach and drive meaningful results. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from Guy Nirpaz on amplifying success in your organization!
