Many business books treat Sales and Customer Success as separate functions, but Abhay Solapurkar's A Practical Guide to Customer Success Management - AI Era shows how to connect them effectively. He explains how to transfer insights from Sales to the Success team so customers begin with a seamless experience. Through the realistic story of Bastion Systems, Abhay makes complex ideas easy to understand and provides practical tools, including a 180-day retention checklist and a 90-day rescue plan for at-risk accounts. Rather than offering only high-level theory, he lays out the team structures, technology, and strategies leaders need to drive growth. This is an essential guide for anyone building a dependable team that delivers measurable results.
