Reinvent Your Customer Management Services Strategy 

Today’s rapidly transforming, global business environment has created challenges for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). As markets expand and change, opportunities for revenue can go unnoticed or untapped. Partnering with Shyft for outsourced customer management solutions can reap new opportunities for customers who infrequently or no longer make purchases, untapped renewals, un-profiled partners and unmanaged spaces such as long-tail inactive partners, non-managed partners and untouched prospects.

Preserve and Expand Your Revenue 

Customer success leads to longer-lasting relationships, and ultimately, more revenue for your business. Shyft delivers decades of expertise in IT product management and outsourced customer success solutions on top of proven business processes and best-in-class tools to maximize your customer lifecycle opportunities. You’ll retain more customers, expand relationships and capture new opportunities, resulting in greater market expansion and higher revenues for your company.

  • Research suggests that recommendations from acquaintances and direct consumer opinions are the most trusted forms of advertising. Customers talk, and those who reap targeted business value from your products become brand advocates who can bring net-new customers to your business. Shyft seizes opportunities to acquire new clients by leveraging your brand advocates who emphasize your product value and exceptional customer experiences.

  • Your customers need to land, adopt, expand and renew business every day, and they rely on your products to get the job done. If they have unresolved issues with your technology or aren’t realizing the full value of their purchases, they could move on to new solutions. Shyft reduces the risk of customer churn by continually monitoring customer engagement with your solutions. By interacting at regular touchpoints with the customer throughout the entire lifecycle, we anticipate and address their needs to resolve issues and prevent significant negative impacts.

  • Nearly every company has one goal in common: Growth. Your existing customer base represents a wealth of new revenue opportunity. Shyft expands your existing revenue streams by identifying and capturing new sales opportunities with existing customers, including upgrades, upsells, cross-sells and new support services.

  • Shyft streamlines your renewal process and manages your existing customer base to secure renewals so that they’re on time and as predictable as possible.

Drive Advocacy and Engagement

Studies show that customer experience is a leading enabler of revenue generation and retention. Loyal customers result from great solutions and positive customer experiences. Our team engages with your customers throughout the entire lifecycle with a consistent approach that builds and retains revenue while creating loyal brand advocates who use and champion your brand.

  • According to a survey from CompTIA, insufficient pre- and post-sales support is the second largest reason a reseller drops a vendor partner program. Keep partners active and engaged in your program with data-driven strategies that leverage deep analysis of proven partner satisfaction indicators. Once we’ve brought the right partners to your brand, we ensure they are successfully onboarded so they can succeed from the start. Then, we monitor their ongoing sales and achievements and stay engaged with their progress so they’re enabled throughout every deal. 

    Additionally, your partners will have a clear escalation path and process to resolve any disputes quickly and efficiently. Whether they have a question about your products or your partner program, your resellers will reach a support representative that acts as part of your company, providing expert guidance and reliable support.

  • Your customers want a personal experience from a vendor that cares about their overall business success. Make your purchase and renewal processes easy, timely and convenient for your customers with simplified engagement models built from proven methodologies and executed by Shyft's expert team. Renewal services require a white-glove service that goes beyond reselling to providing a seamless experience and keeping customers engaged with your brand. Our renewals team is dedicated to the ongoing success of your customers, helping them build solutions that solve challenges and drive innovation on a foundation of their favorite products — yours.

  • We act as the support arm of your company to give your customers increased confidence in your products with expert insight, guidance and solutions. With Shyft’s L1 and L2 support services, your customers have clearly-defined escalation paths to resolve issues quickly so they can spend more time generating successful business outcomes with your products.

  • Training provides a significant level of value, but it takes preparation, tools and a substantial staff to provide effective training services. As your training arm, Shyft gains a deep understanding of your products and leverages industry-leading tools, knowledge and databases to enable your customers to meet their objectives with your products. And channel partner training helps your resellers win more deals, generate opportunities and earn more with onboarding concierge services and insightful training sessions that showcase the value of your partner program. 

  • The voice of your entire ecosystem — especially your customers — is the best measure for the success of your products, so it’s important to know where you stand with them. We provide valuable insights and feedback garnered through surveys and customer touchpoints that can help you assess at-risk situations and respond proactively. You’ll minimize the possibility of lost revenue, and you’ll increase satisfaction while making each customer feel valued by your company. We also can gather helpful information about the reseller experience and help you leverage that feedback to inform your ongoing strategy and fuel improvements that bring even more valuable partners to your program.

Inform Your Strategy With Data, Insights and Analytics

Greater visibility across revenue streams allows you to prioritize efforts and put resources toward the areas with the most impact. Shyft uses industry best practices to provide visibility into your entire channel ecosystem, available renewal opportunities and interactions between your customers and your technology. Our data experts continually monitor customer success to deliver analytics-driven reports and actionable recommendations. We take the guesswork out of your customer management strategy with thoughtful data collection, analysis and reporting of performance metrics so you can make timely and informed business decisions.

  • Business intelligence is fuel for growth. Our in-house business intelligence (BI) unit provides automation, reporting and analytics tools and services for our missions, providing clear visibility into when and where the results are happening. Choose from standard templates or take advantage of customized reporting that delivers the data that’s important to your business. Our BI unit identifies challenges and opportunities and works directly with your business to provide live feedback, reducing risk and maximizing opportunity and productivity.

  • Knowing where you’ve been can help lay the foundation for where you are headed, but only if you have a clear and complete picture. We keep track of your sales history, market position, customer metrics, reseller engagement and more, and we compare it against data-fueled best practices. We can help you analyze diagnostics, refine the sales strategy, focus efforts toward successful practices and even enable new sales approaches that capitalize on the latest trends.

  • The measure of customer success ultimately serves your larger business objectives. Shyft keeps your mission at the forefront of performance tracking and analysis. We track and analyze the effectiveness of your products against relevant key performance indicators (KPIs), and we continually fine-tune your customer success and partner engagement strategies to grow your business and channel in accordance with your business strategies and objectives.

  • Your Shyft dashboards give you access to instant, comprehensive and continuous visibility on your customer success and channel partner program efforts. We use multiple inputs and reporting tools to configure your dashboards to fit your needs, and we can provide any level of detail you need to remain informed and updated.

  • With data-driven dashboards, you can analyze your pipeline from multiple angles, including by region, closing probability, distributor, segments, product lines and more, allowing you to find what’s working and focus your efforts. We provide the dashboards and can help you monitor sales and target opportunities. Your dedicated customer management team members will gain a greater understanding of seller performance so they can tune their efforts. And with the clear pictures your dashboards provide, our team helps your resellers improve coordination with end users to maximize resell and renewal opportunities.

Strategic Customer Management for Simplified Operations

Backed by decades of industry experience and expertise, Shyft learns the ins and outs of your business and complements your customer management strategy to boost revenue, continually drive customer advocacy and optimize your channel programs for greater market expansion. With proven processes and best-in-class tools, your customer management team optimizes your sales processes, contract renewals, partner programs, customer service processes and training and education to maximize productivity and minimize operational complexity.

  • As with any initiative, efficient project management is key to the timely execution of the mission, meeting expected milestones and deadlines. Our dedicated project managers drive a clear understanding of the mission's components, ensuring everyone involved comprehends their role and contribution. They are responsible for facilitating clear communication and engagement between service providers, internal teams and stakeholders to make sure mission objectives are understood and supported by all parties.

  • Your business has objectives that are as unique as your products. Our team uses your mission and goals to gain a firm understanding of your business, your technology, your customers, your channel and your ecosystem. We start by conducting a comprehensive business assessment to help identify operational gaps, inefficiencies and areas with potential for improvement. This assessment results in data-driven insights that lead to making better-informed decisions regarding resource allocation, process improvements and strategic planning. And revealing potential risks or vulnerabilities earlier on allows for proactive measures to be taken to mitigate them.

  • Simply put, our results are your business, so your business is our commitment. Business process mapping sessions help our team visualize and understand your current workflows and processes as well as identify bottlenecks, redundancies and areas ripe for improvement. These sessions help facilitate the standardization of processes across teams to ensure consistency and efficiency in operations. Involving and collaborating with relevant stakeholders in mapping sessions fosters a shared understanding of how different processes interconnect.

  • Operational consistency — especially with changes in personnel or business growth — starts with process documentation. Our documented standard operating procedures (SOPs) serve as valuable resources for training new employees, helping to reduce onboarding time and ensuring they understand the established best practices. SOPs also aid in compliance adherence and quality assurance by outlining the proper protocols and standards to be followed per your organization’s standards.

  • Mutual success is based on continuously analyzing our internal operations and running growth and development plans for our missions and our people. Continuous improvement encourages adaptation to market changes and technological advancements while fostering innovation and a culture of optimization, allowing our company — and yours — to refine processes, eliminate inefficiencies and reduce costs over time. We’re here to help you elevate your program while continually monitoring, reassessing and tailoring your customer management solution to your fit your operational model and maximize your outcomes.
