What Customer Success Needs to Know About 180ops

Customer Success leaders and teams are the front line of the customer experience. Yet many find themselves stuck in reactive firefighting—handling repeated issues from multiple channels and managing challenges that aren’t strictly Customer Success problems. 

Contacts come in from various channels, but most relate to the same underlying issues, turning Customer Success into a dumping ground for problems caused by other departments.

Despite their best efforts, CS teams have little time to analyze or address root causes because KPIs often don’t reflect their true impact. This makes their work feel undervalued and reactive rather than strategic. On top of that, constant pressure to reduce costs limits their ability to innovate or improve processes.
