📣 NEW EPISODE: Annie Dean of RecastSuccess 📣 Annie is a TRUE customer success veteran and is one of those rare individuals who was around when the term 'Customer Success' was coined! What does that mean for us? Lots of insight and knowledge to learn from. In this fascinating conversation, Annie draws from her deep career at legendary companies like LinkedIn, Cisco & Coursera - as well as her current experience with RecastSuccess - to give us a ton of great nuggets of knowledge. It was also a pleasure having her on as RecastSuccess does so much to drive equity and diversity within CS - which is definitely worth highlighting. In this fantastic conversation, we cover a lot of ground including: - How to prioritize where to start digitally - How tooling has helped us to normalize digital CS  - The genesis of RecastSuccess and its mission to help foster diversity in CS  - The role profiles of Digital CS and how product management, marketing, sales ops and data science fit in well with DCS - not necessarily CSM. - How RecastSuccess partners with VCs & Startups to help grow CS orgs with well trained team members - Early stage startups have an advantage because you can start with automations and have them in place from the beginning - How to be proactive with end-users (those that aren’t reaching out) to help drive outcomes for those executives - Average professional in the US uses 80 apps regularly - which is why it is imperative to be proactive with users  - Semi-live webinars are a great way to scale - New AI tools are there to augment and improve what you’re doing - not replace what you’re doing. - Racial & Gender diversity in tech and RecastSuccess’ mission for building CS teams that are as diverse as possible - The ever-present topic of whether to QBR or whether to not QBR It was such a lovely conversation with an incredible human.

🎈 Happy World Creativity and Innovation Week 🎈 This year's theme is #INSPIRE, a big call for everyday change.

Starting the week full of ideas and energy after Techarenan. At the risk of falling to confirmation bias, I was pleased to hear Steve Wozniak advice for the roles/mindsets needed for a successful business: - Engineering - Marketing - Business There really is no point in having a good idea if you can’t communicate it and can’t get people fired up around it. So even though marketing and marketers can sometimes be fobbed off for just being a cost (show me the ROI 🥴), the fact is no product/service can survive, never mind scale, without marketing and communications. The base of excellent marketing and communications is an excellent and clear brand strategy : what’s the purpose of the brand, who are the brand’s heroes, what messages attract them and what stories can you tell to do this? The base of an excellent business is also an excellent and clear brand strategy : what’s the purpose of my company, who am I trying to mentor? How can I help my customers make the change I want to see in the world? With these insights (and a little help from Steve), I’m even more inspired by what we do The Real Hero : we help brands gain clarity of purpose, of audience and of communication so that you can make every cent count. If you’re a company in need of brand clarity, drop me a DM and let’s see if we can help. #brandbuilding #techcommunity #geeksforgeeks

Embrace growth and Evolution as a Creative. As creatives, one thing we shouldn’t allow is becoming comfortable 😒. Yes, many people might assume that we’re just too good, but that’s where we lie to ourselves. There should always be room for growth and improvement. 📌 Take those courses seriously, unlearn, relearn, collaborate, and accept corrections. Creativity evolves! #creativeminds #techenthusiats #growth #tech

"Mr. Storyteller" That’s what a good friend of mine used to call me back at grad school 🤦♂️ He used this to describe my role as the guy who will help “make sense of all this” and “communicate the idea or data in a sexy way” 🪄✨ I was never a fan of the title, especially since I was working in advertising back then and going through my own “professional identity” issues looking to grow skills and tentacles beyond words, communication strategies, and messaging. Over the years I managed to scale myself professionally and grow beyond my “storytelling” core 🐙 However, I find that everywhere I go - #storytelling has proven crucial to winning 🏆 As a product manager, I used my storytelling skills to win over stakeholders and team members when necessary and was many times the only one who could bridge the gap between product, marketing and growth teams 🤝 As a business development and sales guy, I needed to 'storytell' my way into building relationships, convincing clients to buy my solution, and be the “standout meeting of the day” for the folks I met with 🎬 As a leader in scaling startups, I was typically the one tasked with crafting the pitch and company decks, and 'connecting the dots' to speak with the board, investors and the wider team 👨🎨 #storytelling has just proved to be the skill that doesn't stop giving... 🤷♂️ So, I don’t know if I would call myself “Mr. Storyteller” as my friend used to, but I do feel comfortable wearing the 🎖️ STORYTELLER 🎖️ badge and helping other leaders and organizations create their winning stories with Leave a Mark 💪 If you’re interested in learning more, or think storytelling might be relevant for you - feel free to reach out 👋 If you happen to be in SF or LA this week - check out our Tech Week events. 🌉 SF (registration is now closed, but ping me if you believe you can’t live without being there 😬 ) https://lu.ma/ln11c99u ⛱️ LA https://lu.ma/5std1i8r #sftechweek #latechweek TECH WEEK by a16z Leave a Mark

As a founder, addressing the pain point of your target audience is the primary reason behind building a startup. However, developing a product that successfully addresses these pain points without the input of the current or potential users of said product will be challenging. While market research and industry analysis may offer valuable context, speaking with the users of the product yields the deepest insights. Engaging with your users can provide invaluable information that benefits various facets of your venture, including product development, marketing, and customer experience. Recognizing the importance of giving your users a listening ear, here are some tips to help you get the best out of these engagements. #ThisIsMAGIC #Inspire #Equip #Amplify #VentureCapital
