DEAR SALLY,

Dear Sally, I’m a new CSM, and I am really struggling to get my customer
executives to join our calls. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Can you help?
Sincerely, Desperate in Des Moines
________________________________________________ Dear Desperate in Des Moines,
Those pesky executives are always triple booked even when they pick the time. I
feel your pain! You have to make YOUR call more important to them than their
overflowing inbox, another internal “planning meeting”, or posting something
“inspirational” on LinkedIn. Here are a few tips: Don’t be a last-minute
Lucy…have a clear agenda aligned to that executives’ priorities and send it in
advance. Put on the Ritz - Include something exciting that they can’t get
elsewhere, like a sneak peek at your Product Roadmap. Pin a tail on their pain
point - Make sure you understand why they are using your product and be
prescriptive in your guidance in how they can get incremental value. If all else
fails, send up a flare and get your Execut

THE EVER-EVOLVING REALITY OF THE EBR

The Executive Business Review is a magical opportunity to drive an alignment
between the most important stakeholders among your Customers and your
organization. At recent Pulse events I have been blessed to stand and share my
thoughts on ways to capitalize on the EBR and to help make this an Experience
for everyone involved (deck attached). It's not to be taken lightly, but it is
in need of some refreshing and I can confidently say that taking a chance and
letting your creativity shine in these arenas can truly pay big dividends for
your partnership with your Customers, cement your status as a Trusted Advisor,
and level up Your Brand overall. With that, I do also need to address the
Elephant in the room that stands somewhere between “The EBR is Dead” and “The
EBR Doesn’t Scale”. To which I, like all animal lovers, would kindly approach
this elephant and give it a snack (because it’s obviously a bit hangry) and seek
to help it understand where the truth lies within this somewhat polariz

HOW TO ADDRESS UNENGAGED CUSTOMERS

I got a great question from someone who watched this Pulse session I presented
on Not Just a Check-in! Key Elements to a Strategic Cadence Call and wanted to
relay that here and my answer. Please add other suggestions here on tactics you
have tried! This question was: How you would approach a situation where after
confirming the customer attendance and sharing a short agenda a couple days
ahead you get no input from the customer? Example - we show up to the call, I
can tell the customer is not talking much, doesn't want to share much and the
conversation is not benefiting either party. First of this this person is doing
a LOT right (prepping on their end, sending an agenda, asking for input 🙌) and
even more important being introspective enough to realize the call is not
beneficial, so they are reflecting on the quality of the call. Now…..what to do
next? As scary 👻 as this sounds calling it out directly is what is needed,
however this needs to be done carefully. I would recommend giv

LET'S START/CONTINUE THOSE CROSS-SELL & UPSELL MOTIONS!

How does your organization think about cross-sell and upsell motions in your
role? Is it a requirement? Is is it a motion that’s being SPIFF’ed? Or is this
an area your team has yet to start in a formalized process? At Gainsight, we’re
super focused on driving additional value for our customers by helping our
Commercial counterparts. In this market it’s critical to identify opportunities
and my colleague and super successful CSM, Desiree Dieter, spoke about this very
topic at Pulse 2023. Spoiler alert: As CSMs we are primed to identify upsell and
cross-sell opportunities more than other roles at your organization. Your
leaders are probably thinking about how to justify budget for your teams and
helping grow your book of business is a tangible way to show value. Desiree
brought up a few key points in her presentation that I’d like to suggest as
takeaways in your day-to-day: How well do you know your customers business and
needs? Create a mutual Success Plan and uncover their goals and b
