Cisco Customer Success Manager (DTCSM) — Question 84

While talking to employees of a customer's front-line operations, a Customer Success Manager learns that the team is evaluating a competitive solution for an existing solution they own but use minimally. What is the next step the Customer Success Manager should take after this conversation?

Answer options

• A. Host a discovery session with stakeholders to identify challenges and desired outcomes.
• B. Invites the stakeholders to attend technical training on different product use cases.
• C. Educate the operations team on the features and capabilities of the existing solution.
• D. Ensure the customer's procurement team is aware of the existing solution and its usage history.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because hosting a discovery session allows for a deeper understanding of the customer's challenges and goals, which is crucial for addressing their needs. The other options, while useful in their own right, do not prioritize understanding the customer's specific situation or concerns, which is essential for effective customer success management.
