05 - Recruiting Customer Success Managers - Sue Walsh15 Jul 202000:34:29

Text us your questions and thoughts!

Today I am talking to Sue Walsh, a Customer Success and Sales talent specialist, with more than 20 years of experience in recruitment. In recent years she focused on customer experience talent acquisitions. No surprise I wanted to hear Sue’s take on the customer success job market: different types of roles, skills and salaries.

We also talked about job negotiation – how and if women negotiate their terms and salaries, how to know what you are worth and make the role work for you.

My favourite learning is Sue’s take on returning to work after a career break. She says: ‘‘We need to ask what we're worth and stick to what we're worth and actually do reach for the stars because how else are you going to get there? And even if that doesn't work out that could give you valuable feedback as to what it is that you need to develop in order to be there.

04 - Diverse Backgrounds in Customer Success - Shirley Chapman01 Jul 202000:27:17

Text us your questions and thoughts!

In this episode, I am talking to Shirley Chapman – Senior Director of Customer Success at Pluralsight.

She started her career as a teacher and combined that experience with leadership and technology to find herself in Customer Success Role.
Teaching and coaching are still at the very core of who she is. As previously with students, Shirley is now focusing on helping customers be the very best they can be. We spoke about diverse backgrounds for customer success, listening to your customers, the power of mentoring and the art of receiving and asking for feedback in career development.

One of my favourite leanings is Shirley’s reference to her teaching strategies: "As a teacher, you need to know where you push people a little bit out of the comfort zone, where you might challenge them along and sometimes where you have to back off, and I think it's the same with customers as well. "

Text us your questions and thoughts!

In the first guest episode of the Women in Customer Success Podcast, I am joined by Kellie Lucas - a coach, mentor and author of Customer Success Pioneer - a pragmatic handbook for anyone starting a journey into Customer Success. Her book was a finalist for the Best Business Book Award – Specialist Business Book – with the nomination being placed only four weeks after the book was published.

In this episode, we talked about why she wrote the book, what was the motivation behind and the concept.

The conversation also revealed that writing a book was a pioneering experience for Kellie and she’s talking about the behind-the-scene writing process and feedback on book publishing.

Kellie is teaching us the fundamentals of customer success – relationships between people and businesses and the top skills for becoming an exceptional customer success manager – currently one of the most sought-after professions in the world.

Being a coach, we’re fortunate to hear some of Kellies’ powerful coaching tools and the importance of customer success communities.

My favourite learning: ‘You can't coach anyone to do something that you feel that they should be better at. They have to recognize it and lead it and want to try to improve.’ - Kellie.
