The Post-Sale Revenue Leak
Scaling SaaS companies bleed Net Revenue Retention (NRR) because Sales and Customer Success operate in data silos. The fix isn't better CS training; it is a unified RevOps data architecture.
The Bottleneck
Customers were churning because our account managers were overworked, burned out, and dropping the ball. I couldn't just look at a spreadsheet; I had to retrain the entire CS team, get on the phone with angry enterprise clients to save accounts, and rebuild our relationships from the ground up.
The Architecture
We deployed unified telemetry tracking across Salesforce, Gainsight, and product usage data, creating a single 'Health Score' algorithm. This broke the silos, tying sales compensation directly to 90-day retention metrics.
Execution Levers
Tore down the existing customer success playbook and completely removed the administrative busywork from the account managers.
Sat in personally on the toughest renewal calls to take the heat from frustrated executives.
Used that direct feedback to fundamentally rewrite how we handled the first 90 days of client onboarding.
