Σχετικά με αυτό το podcast
Customer success skills, career advice and real CSM conversations. Customer Success Talks is for CSMs in their first years and anyone breaking into customer success. We cover what the job actually demands: onboarding, adoption, churn, and expansion, plus the skills nobody trains you on, like communication, negotiation and reading human behavior. No theory for its own sake. Conversations with people who have done it, and things you can try this week. Hosted by Bayron Toruño, CS practitioner and co-organizer of the PxA CS Summit. New episodes every two weeks. Give it a try :)
