CUSTOMER SUCCESS
You’ve just landed a new customer. Congratulations! But, if you don’t properly onboard them, they could churn fast. There are low barriers to switching vendors. That’s why many customer renewals need to happen in the first 90 days!

We work with you to create customers for life. Let us show you how with orchestrated onboarding, prescriptive approaches and scalable customer enablement content. The result: improved customer satisfaction, renewals, and increased net retention.

CUSTOMER INSIGHTS
Understanding your customers is critical for ongoing financial and operational success, especially for businesses running as a service. In order to develop that knowledge, we interview your customers to uncover feedback, what makes them loyal, and if they are possibly at risk. Incorporating this and other measures of customer feedback into your business plan drives better decisions and actions.
In short, we gather customer insights and make them actionable for you.
“As our business grew, we needed to better understand where and why customers might be at risk of churning. KickStart uncovered those answers and provided us with actionable insights. They have become trusted members of my team.”
