CxO Guide to Customer Success – Challenges and Opportunities in a Downturn
Summary
Several months into the COVID-19-induced downturn, limitations on mobility and the threat of resurgent spikes are keeping economies on the path to a slow recovery.

However, as with any venture into fresh territory, it is bound to be fraught with challenges while also presenting new opportunities for advancement. This is your guide on what to expect.
