Are You Falling for This Common Misconception About Your CEO's Support for Customer Success?

Many customer success leaders believe their CEOs fully support customer success just because they say they do. 

But what if this belief is based on a misunderstanding?

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • How cognitive biases like hyperbolic discounting and ambiguity aversion can lead to underinvestment in customer success.
  • Psychological tools to counteract those cognitive biases (including one that's ethically questionable)

Don't let assumptions derail your customer success efforts.
