In this clip, Dan shares a revealing story of becoming Chief Evangelist at Gainsight. He stepped down from serving as Chief Customer Officer, CCO, but his CEO wanted to keep him in front of customers and talking to customers. Getting in front of the curve with what's going on in Customer Success, why it matters, how it's changing, and where it's headed was the entire charge of the new role, position, and title.
Our guest in this episode is Dan Steinman, Chief Evangelist at Gainsight. Dan joins Ethan Beute and shares the idea that creating awareness of something that’s making a difference is the most important aspect of the role.
Dan also discusses the three aspects of being a great evangelist, two ways to source insights to generate thought leadership, and why he and his CEO stopped trying to track and measure the ROI of his role. Be sure to listen in on Dan giving his advice on how you can become a better listener to your clients about what does and doesn't work for them.
