About the episode:
In this episode, Michael and Chloe dive into the real talk about customer success and why partnering with sales beats the traditional handoff approach. They explore what makes a great customer handoff, how to define success without overcomplicating it, and why everyone in the organization should own churn - not just CS teams.
