“ Before ever working with the customer directly, the sales team creates a super detailed handover and a meeting is conducted to communicate that. This allows the CS team to be able to help break down silos by providing feedback to the sales team in case there is a disconnect from what was being communicated previously. " - Dan Ennis

“ Although the CSMs are focused on the adoption usage, the account managers are working on the growth and expansion, you need to continue to feed each other information as you are learning more about the business. ” -Brittany Rodriguez
