In this episode, we talk to De'Edra Williams, Senior Executive Leader in Customer Success. 

De'Edra brings her high energy and expertise to discuss the changing landscape of the tech space, specifically focusing on Customer Success. 

While women make up a significant portion of customer success roles, they are still underrepresented in executive leadership positions. De'Edra shares her insights on how women in customer success can navigate this landscape and make a significant impact.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Lead with revenue and data: When presenting to the C Suite, focus on revenue growth and data-driven insights to showcase the impact of Customer Success on the bottom line. 
  2. Emphasize the power of data analysis: Identifying and distilling the right data is crucial for a strong customer relationship. Make data analysts your best friends to help you analyse relevant data and remove the noise that detracts from your goals. 
  3. Own your role in revenue generation: As a customer success professional, it's not just about driving adoption or increasing customer satisfaction – it's about driving revenue. Always look out for opportunities within customer success to contribute to revenue growth
