Inside the Entrepreneurial Garage: Marketing and Customer Success Alignment with Tim Hines

Описание: Inside the Entrepreneurial Garage: Marketing and Customer Success Alignment

In this episode of Your Customer, Your Success, Gary sits down with Tim Hines — fractional CMO, four-time founder, keynote speaker, business coach, and author of The Marketing Starter.
They dig into where marketing and customer reality drift apart, why churn is a marketing problem too, and how leaders can create room for innovation without breaking the business. You’ll hear Tim’s concept of the Entrepreneurial Garage and why customer success enablement should be as real as sales enablement.

This conversation reinforces a core principle of the show:

Client focus is a growth strategy.
Alignment drives retention.
Retention drives scale.

If you lead a team, manage client relationships, or are building something of your own, this episode will sharpen how you think about ownership across the full customer lifecycle.
