[Case Study] Screencastify: Maximizing Customer Success Professional Development
CLIENT OVERVIEW
Screencastify is an education technology company serving over 15 million people in over 190 countries, with clients ranging from students to technology professionals. The company offers a simple-to-use platform for recording, editing, and submitting videos. This growing virtual support platform has become a go-to technology for companies seeking virtual communication solutions in customer support.
Pain Points
The need for platforms like Screencastify grew across education and global businesses in 2020. The growing demand turned the formerly education-focused company towards a new segment, serving business-to-business (B2B) software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies. The Screencastify customer success team hired to help the new market consisted of former educators, administrators, and sales enablement professionals. The team was trained internally on the power of Screencastify, but now they needed professional training on essential skills, including difficult conversations, negotiation best practices, and strategic outreach.
Melissa McMillan, Vice President of Customer Success, had been through several training programs in her career and was seeking an education partner that provided a different kind of learning for her newly appointed team. That’s when she learned about the Growth Molecules™ CSA Accredited Education Program. The customer success, support, and leadership series offer a highly interactive program that includes polls, role-playing, customized scenarios, and engaging learning experiences. The programs are built for the way adults learn.
Melissa McMillan
Vice President of Customer Success at Screencastify
“We brought in Growth Molecules because our challenge was that the market during the pandemic surged a necessary need (and funding), but now we have to pivot how to continue to highlight the need for our tools that are seen as valuable to our users outside of necessity. Our team has innate skills on how to support our user and the relationship, but now we need to expand our knowledge in sales enablement within Customer Success, as we further expand our market outside of educational institutions.”
No PowerPoint. No theory. No preaching.
Each weekly online session ranged from 55 to 75 minutes and proved instrumental as part of Screencastify’s company growth strategy. The employee morale, efficiency, confidence, and output increased.
