ISBR conducted an online Customer Success Orientation Session on 8 January 2026 for the students ahead of their interviews with Simplotel. The session aimed to familiarize students with the Customer Success role and help them approach the interview process with better clarity and confidence.
Designed as a focused JD orientation, the session provided an overview of role responsibilities, required skill sets, and interview expectations, enabling students to align their academic learning with real-world industry requirements.
Industry-Aligned Orientation for Customer Success Roles
The session was led by Anshitha Sharma, an alumna of ISBR and currently a Success Manager at Sprinklr. Drawing from her professional journey, she offered students a clear, practical, and industry-aligned perspective on the Customer Success function.
Through this JD orientation, students gained insights into how customer success teams directly impact:
- Customer satisfaction and retention
- Long-term account growth
- Value realization and relationship management
Understanding the Customer Success Role: Skills and Expectations
During the session, Ms. Anshitha explained the core responsibilities of a Customer Success professional, including onboarding, relationship management, proactive problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration.
She also highlighted the essential skills for customer success roles, such as:
- Strong communication and stakeholder management
- Analytical thinking and solution orientation
