FAQ

How is CSU Live different from other commonsku events?+

commonsku University Live is a deep-dive education experience focused entirely on helping distributor teams unlock the full power of the commonsku platform.

Unlike broader community or inspiration-focused events, CSU Live is hands-on, tactical, and application-specific. It’s led by our Customer Success and Product teams and designed to deliver real-world workflows, productivity hacks, feature deep dives (like Shops and Client Portals), and role-based best practices you can apply immediately

CSU Live is about walking away with practical strategies that help you work smarter, drive more sales, strengthen client retention, and maximize your investment in commonsku.

Is this event free? +

Yes! CSU Live is free for all customers on the commonsku platform.

It’s our investment in our customers’ success, giving you direct access to expert-led sessions, real-world use cases, and actionable takeaways at no additional cost.

Will this event be recorded?+

CSU Live is designed as a live, collaborative learning experience, with real-time education and built-in networking opportunities. We encourage all registrants to block their calendar and attend live to get the most out of the event (including direct access to the commonsku Customer Success team and fellow distributors)!

The event sessions will be recorded and will be made available to registrants shortly after the event concludes. The videos require processing time, so we appreciate your patience.

Who from my team should attend this event?+

CSU Live is built for every role within a distributorship using commonsku: sales, production, finance, and management.

It’s ideal for:

  • New users just getting started
  • Experienced “power users” looking to sharpen their skills
  • Teams that want to adopt more advanced features and workflows
  • Any distributor team member who wants to maximize how they use commonsku

Because CSU Live covers both foundational best practices and advanced strategies, it’s especially powerful when multiple roles attend together. When sales, ops, and leadership all learn from the same playbook, adoption increases, and results follow!
