Send us a textThe Customer Success Playbook podcast wraps up its enlightening three-part series with Kristen Nolan of Interview Valet by exploring the delicate balance between technology and human connection. In this forward-thinking discussion, Kristen reveals how she leverages AI as a strategic tool while maintaining authentic relationships. From using AI to identify unique client differentiators to employing dictation for efficiency, this episode offers practical ways to harness technology without sacrificing the personal touch. Hosts Roman Trebon and Kevin Metzger guide a conversation that demonstrates how AI can enhance rather than replace meaningful connections in customer success.Detailed AnalysisAs AI continues to transform business operations, customer success professionals face a critical question: Can technology actually strengthen human relationships rather than diminish them? This episode provides a refreshingly balanced perspective that avoids both technological evangelism and fearful resistance.Kristen Nolan's approach to integrating AI into client relationships stands out for its pragmatism and strategic focus. Working at Interview Valet, where "relationships are the ultimate currency" serves as a core value, Kristen has developed a methodology that leverages AI as a starting point rather than an end solution. Her process of using tools like ChatGPT to identify a client's unique differentiators demonstrates how AI can enhance relationship-building by providing deeper insights that might otherwise remain undiscovered.What makes this discussion particularly valuable for the customer success playbook is the emphasis on maintaining authenticity while embracing technological efficiency. Kristen's guidance on viewing AI outputs as "a baseline" that requires human refinement offers a practical middle path for CS professionals concerned about sounding robotic or inauthentic in client communications. As she notes, "AI can't make up personal stories for you," highlighting the irreplaceable value of human experience in building genuine connections.The hosts share equally practical applications, with Roman revealing how he uses AI to improve the tone and client-centricity of his communications—not by blindly copying AI outputs, but by using them as a mirror to recognize when his natural communication style might come across as too abrupt. This application addresses one of the most common challenges in customer success: ensuring that necessary direct communications don't damage valuable relationships.For customer success teams looking to scale their operations without sacrificing quality, this episode provides a framework for thoughtful AI integration. The discussion moves beyond theoretical benefits to share tangible techniques like using ChatGPT projects to maintain context, leveraging dictation for efficiency, and using AI to help craft more concise communications. These practical tips demonstrate how technology can free up time for meaningful relationship-building rather than replacing it.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CuPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

In this episode, I dive into the crucial topic of building trust online, especially in the digital marketing landscape. You've probably heard about the phrase 'know, like, and trust,' but I believe there's a missing piece in this equation. I argue that trust is not just a byproduct of likability; it also hinges on reliability. Trust is formed through the relationship plus the consistency of behavior that demonstrates a commitment. Through real-world examples and expert insights, I discuss how being reliable—such as consistently answering DMs or providing valuable content—can dramatically enhance trustworthiness. Plus, I share tips on how to analyze and improve your current strategies to build a more robust trust framework with your audience. Tune in to this episode and learn how to create a business that earns and retains the trust of your clients.

Join us as we explore the art of negotiation in sales with our special guest, Stan Christensen, an adjunct professor at Stanford and host of the "All Things Negotiation" podcast. We discuss the common misconception that price is the most critical element of closing a deal. Instead, we emphasize the significance of building long-term client relationships over short-term gains. Stan shares his expertise on why postponing price discussions until other aspects of the relationship are established is crucial. By focusing on understanding and empathy, rather than tactics, negotiators can create fair and successful outcomes. With Stan, we also explore cultural differences in negotiation styles and the significance of understanding these nuances. ⭐ Leave us a rating or review on your favorite podcast app. We actually read them!

He believes in the importance of painting from life to develop fundamental artistic skills, stressing that understanding principles like value, composition, and color provides a foundation for creative expression. Throughout his career, Keith has learned to approach plein air painting as a way to capture the essence of color, light, and atmosphere, rather than creating finished pieces, and uses these sketches as references for more contemplative studio paintings. His artistic journey began with a love for art in school, and he transitioned to being a full-time artist with the support of his wife, navigating the challenges of an art career through discipline and continuous learning. Keith advocates for building personal relationships with clients, maintaining an email newsletter, and having a strong website as key marketing strategies for artists. Finally, Keith reminds us of the value of constraints in fostering creativity and encourages aspiring artists to paint from life, return to fundamental principles, and understand that creativity is a dialogue between the left and right brain hemispheres.Keith's FASO site:https://keithbond.com/Keith's Social media:https://www.instagram.com/keith.bond/https://www.facebook.com/KeithBondFineArt

Send us a textTrust is the invisible currency of business success, yet it remains elusive for many entrepreneurs and coaches. If you've been struggling to get noticed, build credibility, or convert prospects into clients, this episode tackles the heart of that challenge.When life coach Cynthia asked how to get more people to know, like, and trust her, we uncovered the three foundations that create genuine trust: making people feel truly seen and understood, demonstrating credibility without self-promotion, and showing up both consistently and authentically. The surprising truth? Most business owners focus too heavily on consistency alone, missing the deeper emotional connections that transform casual followers into devoted clients.Many coaches believe that appearing polished and perfect is the path to being liked, but our experience proves the opposite. Your vulnerability and authenticity create far stronger connections than any carefully curated image. Real trust isn't built in grand gestures but accumulates through numerous small moments where your audience feels genuinely understood. This episode provides actionable strategies to create these trust-building moments through thoughtful engagement and content that speaks directly to your audience's challenges.Whether you're just starting your coaching business or looking to deepen relationships with existing clients, this framework will help you build trust naturally, without feeling salesy or inauthentic.
