Women of Customer Success London Panel & Workshop: Influence Without Authority: Turning Customer Insight into Action
Please join Women of Customer Success London for their next event: From Customer Insight to Company Action at Cision's beautiful office in Canary Wharf.
What this event is about
As Customer Success leaders and professionals, we sit at the intersection of Product, Sales, and the customer - yet often without formal authority to drive change. So how do we ensure customer voices are heard, priorities are aligned, and action actually happens?
Join us for an honest and practical conversation on influencing internal stakeholders, reducing friction, and building stronger cross-functional partnerships.

In this session, we’ll explore:
How to get Product and Sales teams to act on customer feedback
Navigating competing priorities without losing momentum
What great internal collaboration really looks like in practice
We’ll kick off with a panel discussion featuring voices from Customer Success and Product, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how different teams prioritise, make decisions, and collaborate. Then, we’ll shift into a practical framework walkthrough - so you leave not just inspired, but equipped.
You’ll walk away with:
A simple stakeholder mapping framework to drive alignment
A clear “customer escalation → action” workflow Internal communication templates that help move things forward Insight into product prioritisation approaches - and how to better align with them
Whether you’re managing up, sideways, or across teams, this session is designed to help you turn influence into impact - and make collaboration feel a little less complicated.
Who this event is for:
