Cutting the cost of Customer Success by 70% (without layoffs), with Jim Richmond, CCO of Smartling

Cutting the cost of Customer Success by 70% (without layoffs), with Jim Richmond, CCO of Smartling

In this episode, learn why charging for services, not giving them away, is how customers actually see value, and how this bold bet cut costs by 70% (without reducing headcount).

Join Daphne Costa Lopes as she sits down with Jim Richmond, CCO of Smartling, to unpack 15 years of scaling Customer Success.

Jim shares why picking one trusted AI partner and going all in beats spreading bets thin, why charging for services can deepen a customer's sense of value, and how his team cut cost to serve by 70%. He also gets back to first principles: understanding why people buy, using AI to connect data into one full picture of the customer, and helping your team find purpose as you scale.

Whether you're rethinking how CS delivers value, betting on an AI partner, or building a team for growth, this episode is packed with practical thinking.

Tune in to learn what it takes to deliver real value at scale, without giving it away.
