The customer success (CS) community has come a long way in the last ten years since our first Pulse Conference in 2013.

I recently read Monetizing Innovation by Madhavan Ramanujam and Georg Tacke. Overall, I can recommend this book, but with one major caveat. In the book, the authors recommend that for any new product idea, we need to consider the monetization potential from the very beginning. This I agree with. However, they suggest that we can simply ask our customers about their willingness to pay.

We only notice it when it’s too hot, too cold, making too much noise, or the unit is dripping on us. However, if the air conditioning is perfect, nobody say anything and we focus, instead, on the task at hand.” — Jared Spool The pressure was mounting.

For a lot of products, the truth is more complicated than throwing every feature request into a bucket and seeing what’s most important. Data often isn’t good enough for a quantitative ranking and also, specific needs sometimes must come first. Specific and General prioritization is the answer.

Instead, we turn our attention to only what’s truly broken or causing significant pain or inconvenience for customers.
