Principal Customer Success Manager

Learn to apply AI to the CS work that currently stresses you out: customer research, discovery prep, call evaluation, and presentation creation. You'll master practical prompting with the PLAN framework, build reusable agents for your daily workflows, and create polished presentations using Gamma. By the end, you'll have a personal library of AI tools you can deploy immediately to work smarter and position yourself as a strategic advisor. This isn't another generic AI course filled with theory.

Every exercise maps directly to the challenges you're facing at work, so the learning sticks and you can apply it the very next day.
