I am getting so excited that Pulse is just 2 weeks away! I have been attending Pulse for years virtually, but this is my second year attending in person, and as a midwestern gal, I am beyond excited to be able to take the stage in St. Louis. I have helped build multiple customer communities in my career as both an Ops professional and also a CSM, and have been a part of some really incredible communities too.

I am making sure to help you get tips on how to build a new community, but also how to get your CSMs involved and excited about this opportunity. Can not wait to see you & chat more!

I’m excited to deliver my workshop Wednesday morning (Track 9) to share how Radically Authentic Discovery turns your customer conversations into goldmines for identifying hidden opportunities - or risks - using AI.Here’s the scoop:The typical CS "check the box" meeting, including many QBRs, doesn't give customers the space to engage on what's most important to them.
