Podcasts about Personal Touch

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.

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/randy-lyman   Highlights from today's episode include: Randy Lyman People know that I'm there to support them and help them win, and when they feel safe, they get along better. They don't show up with their guard all protected, right? And they know that I'm there to help them succeed, then they're going to get behind my ideas Randy Lyman  10:50 And so if I'm a leader, that means I can't get the work done by myself. I have to involve other people, and when I'm able to get the best from the group, then, that gives me power, not from a place of ego, but from a place of being able to accomplish. Manon Bolliger And in healing, it's, it's much less structured. But there's really parallels that you can pull from both. And then another thing to notice is that there's, it's also relationship based. So you work with people in your organization the same way you work with clients.   ABOUT RANDY LYMAN: Randy Lyman, The Purpose-Driven Leader, is a physicist and exited founder who has redefined what it means to create purpose-driven success in the building and growth of his multiple seven-figure companies.

Randy's entrepreneurial journey began in the technical world of physics and engineering, where he founded and grew a business that became an industry leader. Despite his professional success, he experienced a pivotal moment when he realized that stress and emotional disconnection were holding back his potential and the success of his team. This realization inspired him to focus on cultivating emotional awareness and creating a culture of belonging, which led to dramatic business growth and a renewed sense of purpose. The Third Element is the culmination of Randy's insights, offering readers a powerful framework to unlock the full potential of the Law of Attraction.

Today, Randy shares these principles with individuals and organizations seeking clarity, purpose, and transformation. His teachings equip others to harness the power of emotional intelligence, foster meaningful connections, and turn stress into a tool for personal and professional growth. His work is a testament to the idea that when people feel acknowledged and connected, they achieve extraordinary results in all areas of life.

Married and deeply committed to his family and community, Randy exemplifies the balance of visionary ambition and grounded authenticity. His mission is to inspire others to heal, connect, and unlock their full potential, proving that the journey to abundance begins with emotional awareness and transformation. Core purpose/passion: Research shows that at least 75% of leaders lack emotional intelligence which can contribute to poor team performance and success.

This week on the Artist Academy Podcast, we're featuring a replay episode from back in 2020 with Australian oil painter Wanda Comrie. Wanda shared some amazing tips for Instagram during our chat, and one that stood out to me was her practice of privately messaging potential buyers with a video of her newly completed paintings. She talks about avoiding automation and instead keeping excellent customer service at the forefront of her art business. She has full conversations with everyone who buys from her. There's no automatic checkout system or computer saying, “Thanks for your order.” It's Wanda personally typing and saying, “Thank you,” to her buyers. I love this and wanted to highlight it at the beginning of the interview because I think it's a testament to who she is as an artist and reflects the care she puts into her paintings as well. Wanda makes all of her sales through Instagram and gives us a peek into exactly how she does it. Take notes, and let me know what you think of this week's episode with Wanda Comrie.
