Fractional leadership
At Infinite Renewals, we believe in the power of fractional leadership. Having a seasoned professional at the helm part-time allows your company to benefit from their wealth of experience without the full-time expense. This approach is particularly advantageous when it comes to Customer Success, Implementation, Professional Services, and Support.
We can provide Fractional Leadership in a variety of ways- from a call once a week to being a full-time executive who can speak to your board. We tailor our services to your exact needs and offer specific expertise in Customer Success, Implementation, Professional Services, and Support. With Infinite Renewals on board, you will be able to move faster while achieving greater results. Unlock the power of fractional leadership today!
Startups
A startup in the $1MM- $5MM range rarely needs a full-time Chief Customer Officer. But they do need the knowledge and experience that someone with that title has. Oftentimes, one of the two scenarios happens:
Scenario 1:
You hire a few junior people. These people are enthusiastic but are not used to setting up processes, building teams, and scaling. You hire one person who has a breadth of knowledge but not depth in the specific areas you need. They have not rolled out Customer Success Platforms, created compensation packages, or built Customer Journeys that reinforce proactive renewal behaviors.
Scenario 2:
You hire a Director level person as the “Head of Success”. However, they soon become saddled with customers, support tickets, and internal meetings. They cannot roll out any processes, because they are swimming in work. They don’t have time to build a team because they are constantly putting out fires. And they can’t scale, because their focus is on just keeping the current customers happy. They are not used to mapping out customer journeys and connecting the essential tasks to ensure renewals and expansion is enabled.
How a fractional Customer success leader can fix this problem:
One solution to building a strong Customer Success team is hiring a fractional Customer Success leader. This individual can bring extensive knowledge and experience to your team, without the commitment of a full-time hire.
A fractional Customer Success leader can provide valuable insights and strategic direction for your team. We have likely worked with various companies and have seen what works and what doesn't in terms of building a successful Customer Success program. With our expertise, we can help you set realistic goals, develop effective processes, and identify key metrics to measure success. We can then help you hire the leader to execute a strategy developed with many years of experience.
In addition, hiring a fractional leader allows for flexibility in terms of scalability. As your business grows, you may need more or less support from us, and with a fractional model, you can easily adjust our involvement as needed.
But beyond just providing guidance and support, a fractional Customer Success leader can also bring a fresh perspective to your team. We can identify potential blind spots or areas for improvement that your team may have overlooked. This outside perspective can help drive innovation and keep your Customer Success program ahead of the curve.
Furthermore, a fractional leader can serve as a mentor and coach for your existing team members. With our experience and knowledge, we can offer valuable insights and advice to help develop your team's skills and expertise in Customer Success.
Overall, hiring a fractional Customer Success leader is a cost-effective way to benefit from industry expertise, strategic direction, scalability, fresh perspectives, and mentorship for your growing business. Consider this option when building or improving upon your Customer Success program to give your company a competitive edge in the market.
Growth stage Organizations
For growth-stage organizations with between $10MM and $100MM, there are different scaling issues. These organizations need expertise in aligning customer experience, marketing, and products. They also need someone to develop full-stack Customer Success Platforms, create upsell/cross-sell strategies, build out systems of insights, and establish a more data-driven approach to driving customer success. They need someone who can assemble teams with specific skill sets and lead them effectively. Implementation teams might need to turn into profitable Professional Services teams.
