Global – October 12, 2026 -- Customers who log in daily, attend every training session and open every email can still be unhealthy accounts, according to Marley Wagner, head of customer success programs and strategy at EverHealth. She argues that health scores should measure whether customers achieve what they bought the product to do, not how active they are.

Wagner replaces single-category scoring with five dimensions

The framework combines product adoption, business outcomes, relationships, customer sentiment, and support and operational health. The right mix varies by industry, company size, maturity and customer tenure. A score does not need to include every criterion.

Global – October 12, 2026 -- Net revenue retention (NRR) and gross revenue retention (GRR) will rarely move within a new customer success leader's first 90 days, because both metrics are tied to a full renewal cycle, according to EverHealth's Marley Wagner.

Wagner, Head of Customer Success Programs and Strategy at EverHealth, outlined a 30-60-90 day framework during a ChurnZero webinar. Her advice: track four leading indicators that show whether changes are working before revenue figures reflect them.

Time to first value can improve within a single quarter

Changes to onboarding can shorten the time customers need to use the product the way they intend. Wagner says completing onboarding steps proves little on its own. What counts is whether customers get there faster than before.

Global – October 12, 2026 -- EverHealth's Marley Wagner has laid out a staged coaching roadmap for customer success managers (CSMs): build coaching habits in the first 30-60 days, then shift to a team-wide coaching culture, with six months as the checkpoint for results.

Live customer situations become coaching material in the first 30-60 days

Wagner, head of customer success programs and strategy at EverHealth, tells managers to review renewal conversations, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), executive business reviews (EBRs), difficult customer emails, angry customer calls and executive conversations. CSMs lead these interactions, and managers join and ask questions rather than take over. Afterward, the manager reviews the CSM's decision-making: what went right and what could improve.

The roadmap also tells managers to normalize uncertainty. Wagner's example phrase for CSMs is: "Let me validate that and come back with the best path forward."
