Challenge

Before Hook, Salesloft were relying solely on sentiment to identify risk in their customer base. Like many modern organizations, they had valuable data but it was spread across multiple places making it difficult for their Customer Success Managers to accurately gauge the health of customer relationships and prioritize actions effectively.

Salesloft recognized the need for a more data-driven approach to overcome these inefficiencies and ensure that their customer-facing teams would have more visibility and could be more proactive and effective in their engagement strategies. This is where Hook came in.

Solution

Salesloft utilized Hook’s objective approach to health scoring to prioritize activities for their CS teams. By having visibility into specific metrics – as well as actions provided by the Hook platform – the team at Salesloft can create tailored cadences and success plays, designed to drive engagement and address individual customer needs. When Hook’s signals indicate potential issues within an account, Salesloft are immediately able to initiate targeted cadences to proactively address concerns, ensuring timely intervention and giving them time to turn accounts around, before the renewal period. This approach has enabled Salesloft to be more strategic and effective in maintaining customer satisfaction, as well as helping them to secure consistent renewals.

Impact

The integration of Hook with Salesloft has had a significant impact on the company’s operations. By transforming the data-led signals and actionable insights provided by Hook, Salesloft has empowered its teams to take decisive actions that improve customer engagement and retention.

This proactive approach has enabled Salesloft to address potential renewal risks well in advance, often multiple quarters before renewal dates, allowing the company to effectively turn around customer sentiment and secure additional revenue. As a result, Salesloft has achieved a 25-35% increase in efficiency, enabling their teams to do far more with fewer resources. This enhanced efficiency and forward-looking strategy has positioned Salesloft strongly for future growth.

"Hook has challenged us to think differently about how we think about risk, the health of our customer base and the metrics that we should care about as a business and a customer success team."
