ABOUT CUSTOMER HANDOFFS

Questions about the first success test

Who should own the handoff?

A customer success manager, onboarding manager or implementation specialist can own the bridge, depending on the complexity of the customer journey.

Does the role need to sit in sales?

No. The important thing is that someone carries the customer context from the sale into the work that creates value.

What belongs in the first plan?

The outcome, stakeholders, milestones, responsibilities, risks and the next action the customer can see.

Can this teammate manage renewals too?

Yes. A strong handoff owner can stay connected through onboarding, QBRs, renewals and expansion when the role calls for it.
