Value Over Velocity
- You are measured on the value you create, not the number of tasks you complete.
- Shifting from task-doer to revenue advisor changes your impact and career trajectory.
Start With A Weekly Revenue Snapshot
- Start your week with a revenue snapshot reviewing renewals, health, usage, champions, and expansion signals.
- Choose three accounts that have the most commercial impact and focus your week on them.
Own Upsell Timing
- Do not wait for sales to flag upsell timing; proactively identify expansion signals yourself.
- Warm up opportunities or pass them to sales but take ownership of growth motions.
