Customer Segmentation

What is Customer Segmentation?

Customer segmentation in CS divides your customer base into distinct groups so you can apply the right engagement model, resources, and strategies to each segment. Not all customers need the same level of attention — segmentation ensures you invest appropriately.

Common Segmentation Models

By revenue tier

• Enterprise (>$100K ARR) — High-touch, dedicated CSM
• Mid-market ($25-100K ARR) — Pooled CS, periodic check-ins
• SMB (<$25K ARR) — Digital/automated CS

By health

• Healthy — Maintain and look for expansion
• At-risk — Proactive intervention
• Critical — Escalation and rescue

By lifecycle stage

• Onboarding — Implementation and training
• Adoption — Driving feature usage
• Growth — Expansion opportunities
• Renewal — Renewal preparation

Best Practices

1. Start simple — 3-4 segments is better than 20
2. Use data — Base segments on metrics, not gut feel
3. Review regularly — Customers move between segments
4. Align resources — Match CSM skills to segment needs
