  • Retain, Upsell, Repeat: Maham on Scaling Customer Success in a Remote-First Team
    Oct 29 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Maham, RepStack’s Director of Customer Success, to unpack how a tiny internal team became an Inc. 5000 company—without losing the culture that started it all.

    Maham shares the evolution from early roadshows to today’s Repcamps, how Customer Success scales across 150+ client accounts, what “allowing churn” means, and why her team treats retention and upsells like a sport. We also dive into leadership, switching from Athar → Azhar as exec sponsor, returning from maternity while leveling up, and practical advice for working moms and ambitious candidates.

    What you’ll learn

    • The rituals that protect culture as a company scales
    • A director’s daily operating system (standups, temperature checks, placements)
    • How to coach clients so hires produce outcomes, not just tasks
    • The mindset for retention, upsells, and buyouts
    • Real talk on remote work, support systems, and leading with empathy
