“You’re asking the wrong questions.”
Here’s something that looks like good communication…
but quietly limits your impact:
“How’s everything going?”
“Any issues on your side?”
“Do you need anything from us?”
Now—those sound fine.
But most of the time?
They don’t create insight.
They create surface-level answers.
And that leads to 3 problems:
👉 you get vague responses
👉 you miss real risks
👉 and you stay reactive
Because weak questions…
Drive weak conversations.
Strong CSMs don’t just ask more.
They ask better.
They shift to:
👉 “What’s changed since last time?”
👉 “Where are things slowing down?”
👉 “What’s blocking your team right now?”
That’s the difference.
From checking in… to uncovering value.
If your questions are too general…
your insights will be too.
💬 Your turn: What’s one question you ask today… that you know isn’t actually helping you get real insight?
