Most CS leaders know their team isn't managing their book of business as well as they could be. What fewer leaders recognize is that the gap usually isn't motivation or effort. It's that nobody ever made "good" explicit.
This episode is a full coaching breakdown of how to develop the mindset, skills, and behaviors your team needs to manage their accounts with intention, broken down by a quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily operating rhythm.
You'll learn:
- Why the feedback you're giving your team isn't landing and what to do instead
- The mindset shift your CSMs need to make before any skill or behavior change will stick
- The three skills that most determine how well a CSM manages their book and how to build them
- What the Internal QBR is and why it's the anchor that drives everything your team does for the rest of the quarter
- How to run a weekly one-on-one that actually reinforces the right behaviors
- Why your team can't meet a standard you haven't made explicit and how to fix that
This episode is for CS leaders who know their team has gaps in how they manage their accounts, and who want a practical coaching approach to building the mindset, skills, and operating rhythm that close those gaps for good.
