Reporting
Product Success Specialists report to the Product Success Supervisor.
Primary Responsibilities
The following are the primary responsibilities of the Product Success Specialist:
- You will be a member of our Customer Success team. The Customer Success team is responsible for reducing churn and increasing customers' use of OptinMonster.
- During your first 3 months, you’ll spend the majority of your time training in HelpScout by answering support questions, reading documentation and watching videos/webinars to build up your understanding of how OptinMonster works.
- After that, you’ll spend 70-80% of your time in HelpScout and/or live chat software directly helping customers resolve technical challenges they're having using OptinMonster.
- You will help our customers understand how to do the things they're already trying to do. You’ll help them figure out why things aren’t working as expected, whether it’s because of a mistake they made, or a bug on our end.
- You'll also share the potential for how they could use OptinMonster beyond the ways they're currently using it.
- You’ll often collaborate directly with Product developers to solve a customer's problem, or you’ll document it thoroughly to be worked on later and follow up with the customer once it is fixed.
- You’ll help the Customer Success team identify positive and negative trends coming from customers so we can respond quickly and appropriately.
- When OptinMonster launches any new features or improvements, you'll help make sure our documentation is updated in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
- You’ll also help beta test features yourself and with customers.
- When appropriate, you'll recommend upgrades, or cross-sell other AwesomeMotive products.
- With the rest of your time, you'll work on at least one "rock" each quarter. A rock is a project that helps move us move closer to accomplishing our annual goals. You’ll have input into what rocks you’re assigned.
- You’ll attend Customer Success meetings weekly. Your input during both will genuinely inform the OptinMonster roadmap, so it's important to come prepared to share your thoughts. You’ll help us make sure we're working on the right things based on real customer feedback and data you collect.
- You’ll help identify and prioritize potential improvements to the product. It’s up to you to collect and thoroughly document feature requests throughout the month so that you can most effectively represent our customers' goals during that process.
- You’ll use your natural curiosity to learn more about marketing, sales, and support, and to grow your technical skills. You'll freely share what you've learned with the rest of the team.
- You’ll help our team craft better internal processes and systems, too.
- The hardest thing about this role is having a deep sense of empathy for solving customer problems, but also balancing that with the big picture priorities for the business. This means sometimes being able to kindly, but firmly, tell a customer no.
Requirements
