Customer Success Manager – What I do?
As a starting point, I typically set up a Quarterly Business Review with the executive sponsor for Salesforce: we review the aspects above and
look at opportunities to exploit features or services you are not using fully. But I am happy to engage with you in whichever way suits best – feel
free to get in touch any time if I can assist you.

management strategy and to proactively identify/mitigate risks
