About this course

This LinkedIn Learning course covers customer success from the first onboarding call through renewal and expansion: designing onboarding experiences that drive time-to-value, building health score frameworks to identify at-risk accounts, conducting effective Quarterly Business Reviews, and developing expansion strategies that grow account revenue.

The curriculum is focused on SaaS and subscription businesses where retention directly drives revenue — the context where customer success as a function originated and where it has the highest impact.

What you'll learn

Design onboarding programs that accelerate customer time-to-value
Build customer health scores using engagement and outcome data
Identify and intervene on at-risk accounts before churn
Conduct Quarterly Business Reviews that demonstrate value and secure renewals
Develop expansion strategies that grow revenue within existing accounts
