ChatGPT has taken the world by storm and now everyone is wondering how it will transform the Customer Success. How will AI change the role of a CSM—or will it even take CS jobs? How can it help with customer retention? And what positive/ negative effects will it potentially have?

In this episode, our host Anika Zubair chats with Jan Young, Principal Consultant for The Success League about AI and it’s effect on Customer Success.

Jan Young is a Top 25 and Top 50 CS influencer, Top 50 Women leaders in CS, and Top 100 CS Strategist. As the Principal Consultant for The Success League, Jan facilitates workshops and provides coaching and private training for CSMs and CS Leaders. She specializes in helping Heads of CS become VPs and get a seat at the executive table. She is also passionate about unleashing the power of Customer Led Growth and building communities.

There is a lot of hype around ChatGPT in tech right now. But Jan believes that it is important to remember that AI has been here for a while. What’s different about ChatGPT is that it is working so well, and if used correctly, it should empower CS people to do things differently and enable our jobs to be easier.

“I think that it's time to start thinking a little differently about how we participate in AI and how we create guardrails for it.”
