Customer Lifecycle Management

The systematic approach of managing a customer's journey from initial engagement through various stages of interaction, including onboarding, support, and renewal. In SaaS customer success programs, it emphasizes understanding customer needs and behaviors to enhance satisfaction, drive retention, and ultimately increase the lifetime value of each customer.
