Description
ABOUT STNDRD
Founded by Chris Bumstead, STNDRD is a fast-scaling enterprise dedicated to helping individuals reach their full potential through a one-of-a-kind ecosystem. STNDRD combines a comprehensive training app, elite 1-on-1 coaching, and telehealth services. Our goal is to empower people to take control of their physical and mental well-being through personalized solutions and expert guidance.
ROLE OVERVIEW
The Customer Success Manager (CSM) at STNDRD is not a support role.
This is a client-facing, revenue-protecting, experience-owning position responsible for ensuring that every client who says “yes” successfully transitions into long-term momentum, trust, and results.
You will act as:
- The bridge between Sales and Coaching
- The owner of the post-close experience
- The guardian of retention, cash collection, and client confidence
This role requires someone who understands human psychology, expectation-setting, follow-through, and emotional ownership—often found in sales, hospitality, concierge services, or high-touch client management backgrounds.
CORE OBJECTIVE
Ensure that every client:
1. Feels seen, supported, and confident immediately after enrolling
2. Successfully completes onboarding and early milestones
3. Stays engaged long enough to experience undeniable value
4. Converts into a retained, referable, long-term client
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
POST-CLOSE CLIENT ONBOARDING (PRIMARY OWNERSHIP)
- Personally welcome each new client within 24 hours of close
- Guide clients through:
- Platform access
- Assessments
- Coach assignment
- Scheduling expectations
- Ensure no friction, confusion, or drop-off between close and execution
- Set clear expectations around:
- Communication cadence
- Accountability standards
- What success looks like in the first 30 / 60 / 90 days
The CSM owns the emotional handoff from Sales → Coaching.
CLIENT RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT & RETENTION
- Maintain consistent, proactive communication with active clients
- Monitor:
- Engagement levels
- Missed check-ins
- Sentiment shifts
- Early warning signs of churn
- Intervene early with:
- Reframes
- Clarifications
- Expectation resets
- Act as the client’s internal advocate while upholding STNDRD standards
REVENUE PROTECTION & CASH COLLECTION SUPPORT
- Track payment plans, installment timing, and collection status
- Follow up on:
- Failed payments
- Delayed remittances
- Pending commitments
- Communicate firmly but professionally to:
- Reduce revenue leakage
- Maintain trust while enforcing agreements
- Coordinate with Sales when escalation is required
This role is revenue-adjacent, not administrative.
EXPERIENCE OWNERSHIP (WHITE-GLOVE STANDARD)
- Deliver a hospitality-grade experience at every touchpoint
- Ensure clients feel:
- Cared for, not managed
- Supported, not chased
- Accountable, not pressured
- Uphold brand tone:
- Calm
- Confident
- Direct
- Professional
CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COMMUNICATION
- Relay client insights to:
- Sales (objection patterns, hesitation themes)
- Coaches (engagement, mindset flags)
- Leadership (system gaps, experience friction)
- Maintain clean CRM notes and lifecycle tracking
- Participate in weekly ops / experience reviews
IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE
BACKGROUNDS THAT EXCEL HERE
- High-ticket Sales or Account Management
- Hospitality / Concierge / Luxury Service
- Client Retention or Customer Experience
- Executive Assistant or Client Services (high autonomy)
YOU ARE LIKELY A FIT IF YOU:
- Understand buyer psychology and emotional commitment
- Are comfortable having direct but respectful conversations
- Can read between the lines when a client is disengaging
- Take ownership
