Customer Success Director | Microsoft Netherlands
Microsoft Netherlands understood the need to build deeper relationships with their customers by transforming their Customer Success Managers into trusted advisors.
That meant a transformation. Historically, the team had been focused on reactive support. Now, the team needed to be equipped with confidence and skills to support the new challenges, preparing them to have better conversations with the business and c-suite and becoming leaders in consumption and adoption.
After some theory coaching sessions, we created realistic scenarios that reflected real meetings and organized role-play sessions for the Microsoft Customer Success team.
During the role-plays, an actor played the role of a C-level executive, and both a Tricycle Business Coach and a peer provided feedback with tangible actions to improve the participant’s performance.
As a result, the participants were enabled to better grasp C-level executive needs through enhanced active listening and adept questioning techniques. It also helped them lead the conversation through the business challenges rather than technical solutions. The team learned to be inquisitive, continually curious, and asking more and more to really understand the business value. They learned that it takes time and effort to build a relationship and rapport.
Over the past two years, we executed the program with 64 Microsoft Customer Success Account Managers.
