The economic uncertainty of 2020 has transformed the retention and growth of current clients from a “nice-to-have” into a “must-have” for any business that operates with a subscription model. Many of these software providers do not have the knowledge, experience, or bandwidth to implement the necessary customer-centric strategies, so they turn to ESG.

“Coming off the best year in the nearly two decades history of our company, I’ve never been more certain of the need for our expertise in the marketplace,” said ESG CEO Michael Harnum. “We’ve had the pleasure of building and operating Customer Success practices at some of the world’s most progressive technology companies since before it was even called Customer Success, and 2020 was a year of reckoning for those who had previously discounted the value of this industry.”
“From what I’m seeing out in the market, I would estimate that the average technology company’s Customer Success budget has increased by around 30% from 2020 to 2021,” Michael continued. “This observation, combined with our record-setting successes in a year of such uncertainty, makes me extremely proud of our team, and even more optimistic about the future.”
