What You’ll Learn

This download gives you the complete set of blueprints that make up CS Discipline 1: Strategy. These are the building blocks for scaling Customer Success.

  • Segmentation: A structured way to classify clients using both their business goals (maturity and appetite) and financial value. This ensures effort is matched to readiness and opportunity.
  • Engagement Strategy: A model for defining the frequency, depth, and format of client engagement based on segment and health trends.
  • Playbook: Standardized workflows and procedures that ensure every action is consistent, measurable, and aligned with client goals.
  • Service Catalog: A defined menu of services that helps communicate scope, avoid over-promising, and align resources with what each client needs.
  • Standardization: Templates, rubrics, and formats that create consistency across your portfolio and allow scalable delivery without losing relevance.

Together, these blueprints provide a clear framework to ensure that every meeting, every deliverable, and every role works toward the same strategic outcomes.
