Enterprise Customer Success Management with AI: Driving Retention and Growth
The role of CSM has shifted dramatically — from reactive support to proactive, strategic partnership. Today, enterprise customer success is about more than just solving problems; it’s about driving adoption, retention, and expansion through data-driven engagement and automation.
Key industry trends:
AI-powered automation: 65% of organizations now use generative AI in customer success, achieving up to 94.7% query accuracy and reducing response times by 99.7%.
Outcome-based metrics: Companies are moving beyond NPS to adoption and value metrics, like the KORE Score, which better predict retention and growth.
Digital-led engagement: Scalable, self-service, and in-app guidance are replacing high-touch models, helping teams do more with less.
