What does it mean to have members--not customers?

How would a forever transaction change your customer’s life?

Who are your super-users and how would you build more

of them through your on-boarding process?

What is the ongoing forever benefit that you provide?

5 QUESTIONS WITH ROBBIE

KELLMAN BAXTER

The Membership Economy

and Customer Success

1. Renewals

• You talk about the “Forever Transaction” but the

reality is there isn’t just one transaction

• Renewals, Upsells, Cross-Sells, even Downsells

• We’re “Always in Pre-Sales Mode”

• How do we handle this from a “membership”

perspective?

2. Success Potential

• You say “Why invest in acquiring a member who's

going to leave quickly and cost you money?”

• In Customer Success we talk about the “Success

Potential” of a customer.

• What are some ways to figure out who will be a

successful member and who won’t be?

3. Defining Success

• You say “when a member signs up for a Trial or for

a Membership, it is helpful to optimize the

member's initial interactions for success.”

• What is this “success” you speak of and how can

we go about defining it for our customers?

4. Active Churn

• You talk about Active vs. Passive Churn and

provide some examples of how to keep customers

from churning, such as ensuring credit cards don’t

expire to offering discounts.

• What are some other ways we can work to

mitigate both active and passive churn?

5. Indoctrination

• You talk about CrossFit, Churches, and other

membership organizations that have “cult-like”

followings… in a good way.

• What are some of the shared characteristics of

those organizations that we can leverage in a B2B

setting to drive such divine loyalty?
