🟥🟥🟥 THE MISUNDERSTANDING 🟥🟥🟥


We're always selling.

Everything we do with a client,

sells them on renewal, expansion, enterprise growth.


(Or sells them on why they shouldn't)


Too many post-sales teams:

→ Avoid real commercial conversations

→ Have little commercial acumen

→ Lack commercial results


Because the expectation,

the responsibility

wasn't set.


So instead, they:

• Operate with a reactive support MO

• Host 'check-ins' & QBRs w/ low-value agendas

• Smile & nod while buying/expansion signals surface


The way they operate

isn't selling anyone on value

both externally AND internally


🟨🟨🟨 THE REFRAME 🟨🟨🟨


CS doesn’t have to be "salesy."

But they must be commercial.


That means:


• Surfacing needs, not just solving tickets

• Driving toward outcomes, not just effort

• Owning whitespace growth, not waiting for renewals.


Post-sales teams are closest to the customer.

If they’re not selling value—who is?


🟩🟩🟩 ACTION 🟩🟩🟩

If you’re a #CEO or #CRO

and your CS team is leaving revenue on the table…


▶️ LET’S TALK ◀️


We have a structured program

to transform post-sales teams

into the growth engine of your business.


Retention isn’t reactive.

Expansion isn’t accidental.


Let’s build a team that drives both.
