  • Can you describe a time when you went beyond standard practice to preserve a customer relationship?

“I had a story ready but it felt a bit thin when I said it out loud.”

Interviewed for a customer success manager role at Cognition AI. Just one question worth noting, but it was the kind that makes you pause and actually think about how you work with customers day to day.
  • Can you describe a situation where you had to get a customer to move at your pace rather than their own?

“I blanked for a second because my instinct was to say 'the customer always drives the timeline' and then I realized that's not actually true in CS.”
