About this listen

AI can handle the busy work, but it can’t replace your brain.

In this episode, Shelby Garlock joins Alyssa to talk about what customer success teams actually need: more curiosity, better boundaries, and the courage to stop playing order taker. They break down how to earn trust, show up as a strategic partner, and build real relationships even in high-volume, remote environments.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI is a tool, not a substitute – Use it to eliminate busy work, not to replace critical thinking.
