So, you successfully launched your customer academy…..
Launching your academy with a learning platform is truly a team effort! Your customer facing teams (Customer Success, Marketing, Product, etc.) collaborated to create educational courses and learning paths, designed a captivating interface, blasted out email and social media communications marketing it, and embedded it into your platform to make it easy for your customers to access relevant courses in their moment of need.
How do we ensure your customers continue to return to this resource? Here are some tips you can use to elevate awareness of your academy and keep your customers engaged:
- Integrate Learning into Conversations
: During your customer calls and interactions, make it a point to discuss the academy and how it can benefit them. Whether you're pointing them there to get their questions answered or just sharing as a new update, mentioning the academy as a go-to resource can embed it into your customers' muscle memory from day one. - Signature Spotlight
