Most account managers are playing too small and leaving millions in growth potential untouched inside their current client base.
Alex Raymond challenges the idea that retention should be the finish line. He invites us to take a closer look at the mindset and habits that keep teams stuck in incremental growth and asks something many of us don’t pause to consider: Are we thinking big enough when it comes to the accounts we already have?
Drawing from his own client work and insights from Ben Hardy’s 10X Is Easier Than 2X, Alex shares the A10X Growth System, a framework built around four key shifts: solving bigger problems, leading with radical curiosity, thinking like the CEO of the account, and clearing out the low-value work that gets in the way.
This isn’t about working harder or chasing more deals. Alex reminds us that it’s about reimagining how we partner with our customers and being honest about where we’re holding back. For anyone in account management, customer success, or post-sales leadership, this episode’s a sharp and timely push to think differently, act more strategically, and build deeper value right where you are.
