Good Morning everyone!

I am wanting my team to focus on the way they hold their calls & meetings as a CSM. I have a few team members who have an awesome approachable personality, but as soon as they get on a call they are very 'professional'. When I give them feedback they tend to struggle to find the line of a personable approach without becoming 'unprofessional'. The main goal is to improve their skills so they are engaging and create a good relationship with their client.


Does anyone have any great resources or training videos that can help build these skills for either me to train them better or give them better cues, or for my team members?

    We are also wanting to adopt similar training for our team - we have a disconnect between CSMs at the moment in their approach to meetings. Following along to learn more. Thanks for posting, Sophie!

    Hi Sophie! A great potential resource here is @Bob London . He's fantastic and has great tools to help folks learn to ask better questions that lead to better - and more impactful - conversations. At my last job, I had him come and speak with my team on this very topic and they all walked away with actionable items that they were able to implement right away. The overall feedback was they felt it was valuable and more importantly, the quality of their conversations improved. I'd definitely reach out!

    I would second @Bob London. I've been very impressed with his materials and have leveraged his approach in my own customer conversations.
