AI is not coming for your Customer Success job, but it is changing what great CSMs look like.

In this conversation with Dan Ennis, Senior Director of Customer Success at Workato, we unpack what hiring leaders are actually looking for in the age of AI and where most candidates are getting it wrong. You'll hear how AI is raising the bar for interviews, assignments, and day to day customer work, plus the biggest mistakes job seekers and CSMs are making when they rely too heavily on AI. We also get into who thrives in AI companies, who struggles, and why startup experience may matter more than ever.

You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to use AI to become more effective without losing the skills that make you valuable. If you are ready to stop worrying about whether AI will replace you and start learning how to stay ahead of the curve, hit play and let's dive in.
