A global technology company with $4 billion in annual recurring revenue and 40,000 clients faced a critical challenge. The company had never before attempted to create an integrated customer experience (CX) strategy across its entire organization. WeAccelerate partnered with the senior executives to drive strategic initiatives, including shaping and executing a CX strategy that would modernize applications, accelerate cloud migration, and improve customer satisfaction. This case study shares how a focused plan, strong stakeholder engagement, and continuous feedback led to measurable success.
Understanding the Challenge
The company’s goal was clear: improve customer experience while supporting a cloud-first strategy. The portfolio included multiple strategic initiatives with a $30 million budget and a team of over 50 people. Success would be measured by:
Monthly client satisfaction survey results
Product adoption rates
Client retention
Revenue growth of 5% year over year, tracked quarterly
The challenge was complex. The company had never integrated CX efforts across all product, engineering, and development teams. Onboarding and training all users to align with the new CX approach was essential. The existing customer feedback process was limited, collecting data only quarterly or during renewals, which delayed insights and response times.
Developing a Clear Plan of Action
To tackle these challenges, our team of experts developed a four-step plan focused on gathering real-time feedback, uncovering customer needs, securing executive support, and fostering ongoing collaboration.
1. Creating a Weekly Customer Feedback Loop
Instead of relying on quarterly or bi-annual surveys, we introduced a weekly feedback mechanism. This approach captured timely insights from customers, allowing the company to respond quickly to emerging issues and opportunities. The feedback was collected through multiple channels, including direct interviews, digital surveys, and support interactions.
This shift provided a richer, more dynamic understanding of customer needs and pain points. It also helped identify trends early, enabling proactive improvements.
2. Using Feedback to Identify New Revenue Opportunities
With fresh data in hand, we analyzed customer problems and opportunities to uncover potential revenue engines. This included identifying upselling and cross-selling channels that had not been fully leveraged before. We prepared a detailed presentation for the executive board, highlighting how these insights could drive growth and improve client retention.
The presentation focused on clear examples of customer needs and how tailored solutions could increase value for both clients and the company. This helped secure buy-in from senior leaders.
3. Engaging Key Clients and Partners Through Office Hours
After gaining senior executive support, we partnered with cross-functional teams to schedule regular office hours and briefing calls with key clients and partners. These sessions explained the rationale behind the new CX strategy and invited continuous feedback.
This transparent communication built trust and positioned the company as a partner invested in client success. It also created a feedback loop that informed ongoing strategy adjustments.
4. Presenting Insights and Strategy to Client Executives
Finally, We presented the refined CX strategy, partnership model, and target operating model to client executives. This reinforced the company’s commitment to collaboration and demonstrated how the new approach would benefit clients directly.
The presentations included data-driven insights, examples of improved service delivery, and clear next steps for partnership.
Results Achieved
The impact of this integrated CX approach was significant and measurable:
Customer satisfaction scores increased steadily in monthly surveys, reflecting improved service and responsiveness.
Product adoption rates rose as clients better understood and embraced new solutions.
Client retention improved, contributing to a revenue uplift exceeding the 5% year-over-year target.
The company established a repeatable model for client engagement that other teams began to adopt.
This success story shows how a clear plan, grounded in customer feedback and strong collaboration, can transform customer experience and drive business growth.
Key Takeaways for CX Leaders
Collect feedback frequently to stay ahead of customer needs and issues.
Use data to identify new revenue opportunities beyond traditional sales channels.
Engage clients regularly through transparent communication and collaboration.
Secure executive buy-in early to align strategy and resources.
Present clear, actionable insights to clients to build trust and partnership.
By following these steps, companies can create a customer experience that not only satisfies clients but also fuels growth and innovation.
