## Summary

They are most useful for practical examples of building customer success teams as AI changes customer work.

- Best for: A B2B SaaS company strengthening customer success as AI reshapes the function.
- Not for: HR tech paid sponsored posts for self-serve products to line managers.
- Check first: Confirm whether they accept sponsorships and have audience measurement data.

### Takeaways

- AI tools cut review of 50 to 100 question procurement forms to under 30 minutes.
- A form-building GPT spread when colleagues asked to share it, not pushed.
- Customers discuss moving AI from assistant to operator, with trust and governance in view.

## Main ideas

- **Customer teams should own outcomes, not just activity**: Tristan argues that customer experience is often treated as a supporting function, even as its value grows. At Omnea, their customer team is described as process experts accountable for outcomes and able to work across procurement, finance, legal, security and operations—not just through one internal champion.
- **AI makes trust and judgment more important to customer work**: Tristan argues that AI will do more than automate tasks. As AI takes on more responsibility, customer teams and their customers must decide what good decisions look like and how to govern them. Their posts connect that question to both the customer team’s role and conversations with customers.
- **Useful internal tools should spread through adoption and become shared infrastructure**: Tristan highlights practical tools built by customer-team members and sees colleagues’ requests to use them as a sign of organic adoption. The examples point to a priority beyond individual efficiency: tools and processes should help the wider team serve customers as the company grows.
- **Customer input and implementation experience should shape how the company builds**: Tristan presents customer conversations as a source of product insight, not just relationship maintenance. The same emphasis on reusable learning appears in their account of implementation work: playbooks and project plans help the team handle varied deployments while retaining a deliberate customer experience.

## Partnerships

Rebeca Tristan's posts describe building and running Omnea's customer team, hosting a customer advisory board and running the company's annual summit. They present this work from an operator's perspective, not as creator placements for advertisers. The posts describe no sponsorship, brand-partnership or paid-collaboration formats, and include no sponsor policy, rate card, media kit, sponsored-post disclosure or partnership enquiry route. Ask directly whether they accept sponsorships before budgeting for a partnership.

## Alternatives

- Auste Foster: A better choice when the buyer already owns a customer success platform and cannot get the team to use it. Auste Foster writes from sixty implementations of Medallia and Gainsight and describes the failure pattern directly: a platform gets nine months of evaluation, day-to-day administration goes to whoever is nearest, and eighteen months later the team is back in Outlook with a fraction of the product in use. The alternative is concrete: configure the platform around how the team actually works rather than how the demo did, pick the twenty things that matter for the next two quarters, build journeys that run without a human, and say honestly whether the team has the hours to run what is left. Foster also argues the deeper problem is often measurement rather than software: a CRO measured on growth and a CCO measured on retention can each hit their targets while the company fails to move in one direction—a measurement problem wearing a costume. For a brief that has to decide whether to fix the platform or the alignment above it, that second argument carries the decision.
- Arie Barendrecht: A better choice when the campaign is aimed at the revenue side of scaling rather than the customer team, or when the buyer wants a US-market field-marketing and event angle. Arie Barendrecht writes from a New York GTM seat at Omnea about why procurement and spend management is a neglected, complex market, what it feels like to work somewhere people operate like founders, and which roles the team is hiring for. The summit post adds a cross-account view of the same event Rebeca Tristan writes about, recording how procurement leaders have stopped asking whether AI is real and started asking how to use it against the supplier spend they control—the $5 billion lever framing rather than a $10 million one. That is useful supporting material for a co-published roundtable or dinner series.
- Erin Walsh-Beguin: A better choice when the audience is talent acquisition or HR leaders, or when the AI question is specifically responsible and compliant AI in hiring. Erin Walsh-Beguin speaks on that topic at Greenhouse's Open for Ops events in New York and San Francisco, sat on the vendor's customer advisory board, and states a position in the posts: use technology and AI to increase efficiency while holding on to the human component of recruiting, and balance human connection with what AI makes possible rather than trading one for the other. A campaign that shifts from the buyer's customer success team to the hiring side of building that team would find this material more directly on point than Rebeca Tristan's.
