What you don’t do determines what you can do.”
- Tim Ferriss
We in Customer Success spend a good deal of time talking about what it is that we *do* (almost anything, depending).
But there is an art to saying no, and KNOWING when to say no.
Now, we can't possibly tease the totality of that spicy meatball out in one hastily put together (but certainly not written by AI) social media post, but we can pull the curtain back just a bit on some of the things a CS leader, individual, or overall group *shouldn't* be doing, or thinking. With a load of caveats, of course.
In this episode of Lifetime Value, we tackle:
🔝 What takes precedence over everything else when "doing" Customer Success.
🙊 Perhaps the most OVER-valued skill for CSM's to have.
💸 How it is Customer Success and Sales are the SAME, as well as how they're VERY different.
📈 On that note, how important is the commercial motion is to a Customer Success department's longevity overall?
🎩 When and how to spin up a CS practice to begin with.
Greg Daines gives it to us straight, and even offers that a lot of us practitioners shouldn't even *be* in CS, based on our ability to do one thing in particular.
David Epperly keeps it all in perspective for us.
Rachel Provan is her usual self - she tears us down only to build us back up smarter and stronger.
And Kristi Faltorusso likely alienates a healthy subset of the CS community (and has our best face yet for our episode cover, see below).

How many of you have been asked, perhaps while trying to explain your career choice to a family member over a beautifully cooked holiday dinner, what it is exactly that you do all day? (If your hand's not up, you are an abject liar and you know it)
Product people think of problems to solve and stuff to build. Engineers then build that stuff. Salespeople SELL that stuff. And accountants count the MONEY from that stuff!
But, as Rachel Provan says so eloquently in this episode, “What the hell do we [in CS] do all day?”
In this episode, we try to answer that.
Classic CCO behavior: Kristi breaks it down academically.
With some aphorisms tossed in, Dan Ennis begins to describe what it might take to get there.
Anita Toth, meanwhile, explains CS’ unique position in the feedback loop.
Rachel points out what we shouldn’t be doing.
Mohammed Alqaq gives the playbook for challenging your customer along the way.
Greg Daines builds the bridge to expansion.
Stijn Smet shares how this all gets turned on its ear depending on your company’s size and maturity.
It can be a tough question to answer. Maybe this episode makes it just a little bit easier.
