What are some of your best pointers for a successful customer-first game plan?
The idea of putting the customer first is easy in theory but takes intention and effort. We not only encourage employees to always focus on exceptional customer experiences, but we empower them to do what it takes to create those experiences. It’s important for us to eliminate any friction that could negatively impact the customer and ensure that every interaction we have with them is a positive one.

The unique consultative approach upon which our company was founded is designed to build long-term relationships that truly benefit our customers. We’re focused less on the transaction and more on adding value, which creates one-of-a-kind experiences that customers can’t get elsewhere. We are experts in the products we sell, so our customers know they can trust us when making purchases and that we’ll provide assistance after the sale as well.

First, creating a work environment in which employees respect and support each other is key. How employees treat each other will translate to how they interact with and support customers.

The summit featured participants from nearly 30 healthcare organizations convening to evaluate urgent challenges in healthcare operations.

What are some of your best pointers for a successful customer-first game plan?
The most important aspect for a successful customer first game-plan is to use customer research and conversations to drive priorities. A start up feels like a whirl wind with endless “ideas”, but limited resourcing and time. Using consistent conversations with customers – whether renewal or churn calls, exec-to-exec meetings, closed-won conversations – to understand where the product and team are delivering value is critical to drive that prioritization. This helps understand what tactics, strategies, and ideas to lean into, which ones to focus on up-leveling, and which ones to leave behind.

Prioritizing customer research to drive strategy ensures that our strategy is focused on what delivers value to the customer – and not what we “think” might be important. This has resulted in a number of initiatives including – building out a comprehensive implementation process, developing client training and assets for best practices, improving our churn risk measurement. The overall impact on focusing on what matters most to clients has resulted in extremely strong and lasting partnership with these clients
