Layoff Your Staff/ Lose Your Customers: Customer Success with Shauna Osborne, Customer Success Scion

Few if any companies track the long-term effects of letting go of staff, but by far the greatest area impacted by less staff is the breakdown of the organization's relationship with their customers. Join Agile Unemployment host Sabina Sulat and special guest, Chief Customer Officer and Customer Success Evangelist, Shauna Osborne as they discuss the long-range impact of what happens when clients lose their faith in an organization because of fractured relationships and toxic cultures.
