A vanishing barrier to bullsh*t | The Daily Standup Ep. 96
You can't swing a dead cat these days without hitting a couple "experts."
But JP has noticed something about so-called expertise - it's easier than ever to claim, but the real stuff seems harder than ever to find.

Great discussion. I wonder what’s valuable to each member of the account’s Decision Making Unit when it comes to this question. Perhaps a technical implementer would have a different answer than a user or an executive.
Great call-out, Ed. Thanks for watching!
Rob nickname count: ...we've lost count, but it's gotta be at least 100.
This one was really good. Ed brings some really good points! I actually listened to it a couple of times. You gotta get him on again soon!
Truly a topic we can talk about for way longer than 10 minutes - we'll need to circle back and schedule a follow up meeting ;) I'm also deeply saddened by the overall downfall of KFC since the 00's.
Come back soon! And RIP KFC buffet!!
Lihong and Theysaid have a Product Hunt live today! Find it here: www.producthunt.com/posts/theysaid
Who wore it better? Rob Zambito or Mills Lane?
IM ON THE FLOOR!!!!
Frank Slootman’s comment about having a CS team being stupid is not entirely wrong. I once heard that marketing is the tax a company pays for a poor product. The same thing could be true for poor sales and product as it relates to having a Customer Success team. So until products are all amazing ( with appropriate pricing models) and sales teams set proper expectations then the CS role overall is safe.
It's a good point, and you see this same give-and-take everywhere. Sports teams without a great defense will have to have an extraordinary offense.
Do you still believe in the myth of a single source of truth?
Boots on the ground, tying up loose ends... What other examples do you have of repurposed wording with ... certain undertones?

Such a needed conversation. I can tell you're all funny people.
Great conversation, guys. Having followed both companies for some time, this is a smart move. CSMs will benefit from having better account intelligence than they have now.
Thanks for keeping the guys honest, Ed. They can get a little jaded 😒

Such a pleasure to be on this podcast to chat with you all Dillon, JP, and Rob! We don't often associate Customer Success with meditation, but it's clear that meditation's importance can't be minimized in our fast-paced lifestyles for pause and purpose. A conversation that's definitely close to my heart.
This is such a necessary convo - thanks for bringing it, Sumitra!
