Speaker: Dan Ennis - Director of Commercial Customer Success at Workato

We all agree that ""digital is a strategy and not a segment"", at least in theory.

How do you get other teams to trust their customers with the content you'll be sharing?

In this practical session, Dan will share real world methods to contextualize your programs based on segment, how to get buy-in from other internal teams, and how to make sure that your digital engagement strategy enhances the outcomes of ALL customer segments.

Laying the Foundation for Scalable Digital Success: Start with Contact Management [10:45 AM - 11:15 AM PT]

Speaker: Zack Siegert - Senior Manager, Digital Customer Success at Abnormal Security

One of the biggest challenges in scaling digital customer engagement is making sure you’re reaching the right people.

Through trial and error, I’ve learned that a strong contact management strategy is the foundation for everything else in Digital CS.

In this session, I’ll share the approach that’s worked for me:
- The Metrics That Matter – How tracking contact coverage rates helped me gain leadership buy-in and align with other teams.
- Less is More – Why focusing on just 2-4 critical contact roles made scaling easier—and how to capture, validate, and source contacts effectively.
- The Digital Journey – How I started building simple, scalable digital journeys for each role to drive engagement and adoption.

You’ll walk away with practical steps to strengthen your contact strategy, avoid common pitfalls, and set yourself up for scalable success.

The 3 Flavours of Onboarding: Finding the Perfect Balance of Digital and Human Experience in the Most Critical Part of the Customer Journey [12:45 PM - 1:15 PM PT]

Speaker: Bob Mathers - Speaker and CS Coach at BMCX Consulting  Inc.

If you don’t get onboarding right, nothing else matters. It’s scary to introduce digital motions when the stakes are this high. But finding the balance between digital and human doesn’t have anything to do with you – it’s about your customer’s maturity and ability to change. That’s why creating 3 flavours of onboarding that reflect what the customer can realistically do on their own, and what you have to do, is the first place to start with scaling this critical function. 

In this session, you’ll learn:
 
- How to segment your customers based on their ability to change.
- How to “profile” your customers in the sales process to determine what type of customer you’re dealing with.
- How to design your 3 flavours of onboarding.
- How to find the balance between digital and human motions across each flavour.
- Why Elvis is still the king, and Keith Richards really is the best guitar player ever.

ROI or Bye-Bye: Proving Digital CS is Worth It [1:15 PM - 1:45 PM PT]

Speaker: Marley Wagner - Fractional Digital Customer Success Leader at Marley Wagner, Ltd

Digital is no longer a nice-to-have in your customer success strategy - it’s the way of the future, your customers expect it, and the pressures of scaling efficiently demand it. But if you can’t measure it, you can’t prove it. And if you can’t prove it… well, say bye-bye to buy-in, budget, and impact.

In this session, digital customer success expert and thought leader Marley Wagner will break down the essential metrics, strategies, and storytelling techniques to demonstrate the undeniable value of digital customer success. She’ll cover:
- The key performance indicators (KPIs) that truly move the needle
- How to connect digital CS efforts to revenue, retention, and expansion
- Real-world examples of teams proving (and improving) their ROI
- Tactics to turn skeptics into champions (whether it’s leadership, sales, or customers themselves)

You’ll leave armed with the tools to not just track success, but prove it in ways that get attention, action, and investment. Because in the end, if you can’t show the value of digital CS… someone else will decide it doesn’t have any.
