“Sam is a powerhouse customer success leader and a true champion for startups! I've had the pleasure of following Sam's journey at Zendesk for a few years now, and I'm consistently impressed by her passion, strategic mindset, and commitment to building an exceptional customer experience. She exudes a contagious enthusiasm for developing innovative solutions in this space, always promoting valuable resources and events. Her insightful contributions spotlight key industry trends, including leveraging AI and ensuring stakeholder satisfaction. One thing I love about Sam is that she's always elevating others. She is a constant source of encouragement and celebration within the Zendesk community. Her genuine appreciation for her amazing team and consistent recognition of others' successes demonstrates a spirit of collaboration and support that makes her a true asset. Her leadership style also creates a culture of accountability, empowerment, and deep self-reflection. She has a profound ability to guide individuals towards clarity, helping them understand the "why" behind their goals and empowering them to create actionable plans. She's also sensitive to the emotional aspects of decision-making and personal development. And acts as a compassionate sounding board as she inspires accountability for progress. Sam also understands the power of incremental growth and the importance of recognizing the small wins along the way. She excels at helping others break out of procrastination patterns and embrace their natural strengths. I highly recommend Sam as a seasoned leader with a proven track record of driving results, building strong teams, and fostering a customer-centric culture within the startup ecosystem. Her organization is so lucky to have her on board!”

The Paradox of Channel Choice
-
Research has shown that when there are too many options, consumers are less likely to choose anything at all and if they do, they’re not as happy with their selection. This paradox of choice also applies to the customer support channels your business offers. While we all have preferences when it comes to support channels, we would rather forgo our preferred channel if it means getting our problem resolved more quickly.
