What if your KPIs are hiding your true impact and that’s why you’re not getting promoted? Most CSMs are tracking what leadership asks and missing the real proof that moves careers forward. If your best work is going unnoticed, you’re not alone.

That’s why in this episode, I reveal the three high-impact metrics I personally used to score raise after raise (including how I built a 200k IC role from scratch), the “invisible work” you should start logging today, and how to create your own bulletproof folder of receipts for interviews, promotions, and layoff protection. Hear the small, simple experiments that can lead to company-wide change and find out how to capture the magic that really sets you apart.

You’ll learn how to turn invisible effort into undeniable evidence, make your value pop in every review, and protect yourself from layoffs or missed opportunities. Want to know the "receipts" no one else is collecting but every leader cares about? Press play now and get the edge you deserve.

Sick of pouring your heart into job applications only to get ghosted, again and again?

Today, I’m tearing the lid off my private vault of cold outreach secrets. I’m revealing the 5 real-life messaging strategies that got my clients interviews at top companies, across multiple industries.

You’ll hear exactly what these killer cold DMs had in common, why hiring managers can’t resist answering, and the subtle details that set your message apart from the noise. Plus, for the first time ever, I’m giving you access to my plug-and-play cold outreach templates that make customizing your next message almost too easy.

If you’re ready to stop feeling invisible, stand out in any hiring manager’s inbox, and finally break the interview drought, this episode is your shortcut. You’ll walk away with a strategy you’ve never tried and the confidence to hit send.

Think your LinkedIn is working for you? Think again. If you’re still treating your profile like a digital resume, posting because you think you “should,” or stressing about building a “personal brand” (cringe)—you’re leaving job opportunities on the table.

In this episode, I break down the most common LinkedIn myths keeping talented Customer Success job seekers invisible in 2025. Forget everything you’ve heard about content creation or copy-pasting your resume. Instead, I’ll reveal what hiring managers actually look for, why keywords matter more than ever, and the simple shifts that can turn your LinkedIn into an interview magnet.

The outdated advice ends here. And these data-backed strategies will help you finally stand out (no vague headlines or influencer hacks required).

Curious what your LinkedIn really needs to unlock new career milestones? Hit play and discover the LinkedIn strategies nobody else is talking about. Don’t miss the profile tweaks that could be the game-changer between getting ghosted and getting hired.

Think you need a “perfect” Customer Success resume to land a $120k role? Think again. Two of my clients just scored these coveted jobs. One after a two-year gap, the other coming from, wait for it, a winery. And neither had what most would call a flawless background.

In this episode, I break down exactly what got them hired. You’ll hear how they showcased serious revenue impact and built scalable solutions that hiring managers desperately need right now.

Plus, I’ll share the actionable four-step game plan you can swipe, regardless of gaps or zig-zaggy career paths and unpack the mindset shift that matters more than any bullet point on your résumé. Ready to find out what actually separates those who get hired for the big money from those who don’t? Hit play and let’s rewrite your CS career story, starting today.

Are your customers ghosting your QBR invites? Let’s be real… every CSM has faced the dreaded silence or worse, the wrong people showing up. But here’s the ugly truth leadership never told you.

We’ll dig into exactly what to research, how to reframe your outreach, and the one pro move that gets even busy execs leaning in.

Craving the kind of executive buy-in that accelerates renewals, expansions, and your own career? Hit play, because everything you’ve learned about QBRs is about to change, starting now!
