Anything that happens after a sale can be defined as post-sale. And in a recurring revenue business, it’s post-sale customer success that’s become the profit center. Selling a product or service on a pre-sale promise, but failing to deliver in post-sale impact inevitably produces customer churn. To combat and even prevent churn, customer success creates the experiences that deliver on those promises — around the moments that matter.

So, which moments matter most? There are two moments in which customers are highly responsive. One characteristic of those moments: respect for their time and timeliness in response. Another: customers respond to kindness. Why both characteristics create better customers experiences is how they make people feel – heard, respected, appreciated, valued, and supported.

Our guest on today’s episode is Jacco van der Kooij, Founder of Winning by Design. His focus on upholiding morals and values, being honest and helpful, maintaining a good brand reputation, and advancing the science of sales. His voice and approach are a breath of fresh air in the SaaS space.

We first talked about Jacco’s work back on Episode 43, “Three Ways to Win With The SaaS Sales Method.” Now, he visits The Customer Experience Podcast directly to talk through The Bow Tie Funnel and the customer impact journey. More specifically, he explains how brand reputation is built from both the impact promised and the value of that promise realized.

One takeaway before you listen: Recurring revenue is the result of recurring impact. Recurring customer impact should be our highest goal.

Jacco also takes us on a deeper dive into the role of priority. Priority has become the determinant for how customers make buying decisions. If buying is not a priority this month, quarter, or even this year, then a client has probably “gone dark.” The primary challenge that sales professionals don’t know they’re facing? Reengaging clients out of the “go-dark” stage. Jacco then walks us through creating a compelling or critical purchase event during the inevitable “go-dark” stage.

Jacco, our expert on moments that matter, is on the podcast as part of a special series we’ve been running since early July. He’s one of 11 experts that Steve Pacinelli and I interviewed in-depth in the process of writing our Wall Street Journal bestselling second book, Human-Centered Communication: A Business Case Against Digital Pollution (Fast Company Press, October 2021).

Throughout this series, we’re back in conversation with each of them in a way that adds to their philosophies, strategies, and tactics delivered in the book.
