Scenario

When customer success partners enable each other's performance struggles

My customer success partner and I have been covering for each other's accounts when clients complain instead of addressing why we're both struggling to hit our retention targets and I think we're making each other worse at our jobs. We keep saying we're being supportive but really we're just avoiding the conversation about what's not working.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're using mutual protection as a way to avoid examining your individual and collective failures.
