Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

This book offers valuable insights into customer service, laying a solid foundation for success. Any Customer Success Manager (CSM) would benefit greatly from reading it and applying the key takeaways to their work. Each chapter provides information that helps individuals learn and grow. I appreciated how the book emphasized the importance of relationship building and finding advocates who champion the product. Often, people overlook the success that can come from building relationships or having someone in their corner creating engagement around the product. This greatly aids in success and strengthens the relationship between the CSM and the organization. I particularly enjoyed how the book prepares CSMs for success by encouraging a proactive mindset and designing a solid strategy.For both new and seasoned CSMs, this book will either teach you how to be successful or remind you of important practices you may have forgotten. Overall, it's an excellent crash course and a valuable resource for anyone in the customer experience (CX) field!

This is a very interesting and well-written book for CSMs of all levels, and even for those who are not very seasoned in the topic, but want to get a solid introduction into the world of customer success management. The book provides some very detailed and concrete examples to solidify the concepts being presented in each chapter. I especially found the chapter regarding "Soft skills of exceptional CSMs" to be very insightful, for those who are looking to be a successful CSM.While this is not exactly my area of expertise, I still thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and was able to gain some valuable insights into the world of customer success management. A great book for those who, like myself, aren't too versed in the topic, but want to learn more without getting too overwhelmed.

The book is well-written and thoughtfully laid out with an easy-to-follow table of contents that allows readers to target topics most relevant to them.I was glad to see the book treat both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of measuring success.The explanation of success manager skills in chapter 2 will be especially helpful to those considering a career in customer success. The chapter does a good job pointing out the need for a CSM to possess both empathy and analytical thinking.I would like more emphasis placed on the role varying by organization and product. For example, the topic of being reactive didn’t mention that reaction depends greatly on whether the organization has customer resources like a help desk.The chapter on boosting engagement sparked some ideas that I think will work well with the current product and clients I support. Yes, even experienced CSMs will find value in the book.In summary, Mastering Customer Success provides lessons for the neophyte and the experienced CSM. For those entering a role, it would be a perfect primer.

As someone who's been in the CS world for over a decade, I picked this book up to round out my knowledge, understand the current state of Customer Success, and see where things are going. I’m happy to say I was not let down.There’s something here for new CSMs and experienced CS leaders alike. The writing is highly approachable, uses relevant personal insights to demonstrate its points, and thoroughly explores each facet of pretty much every CS-related topic you can think of.You can tell that the authors have lived the CS experience from the ground up. As a former CSM myself, I found myself nodding along to anecdotes about the challenges of getting client stakeholders to attend Quarterly Business Reviews or chuckling at a story about Sales taking over a CS-led customer call. Been there.Beyond the soft skills and daily tactical activities that entail the CSM role, the book covers a broad range of strategic topics: analyzing and utilizing customer data within CRM tools to better understand client health, building internal and external relationships with the right people in the right departments, best practices for driving engagement across multiple channels, the value of personalization, managing retention risks, and much more.Overall, the title is accurate. If you’re looking to master Customer Success, this book is for you.
