Handoffs

Every account moves SDR → AE → SE → CSM → AM. The seams between roles are where deals slip and customers churn. AI changes the math.

AECSM

AE to CS: close-to-onboard handoff that doesn't lose the context

The AE closes. The CSM inherits a Salesforce stage change and a contract. Everything the AE knew about the buyer — the pain, the political map, the implementation worries — evaporates. First QBR is six months later and the customer is in renewal red zone. This is fixable.

AESE

AE to SE: looping in your SE without context drop

AE has a deal that just got technical. They Slack the SE: 'can you join the call Tuesday?' SE shows up, gets a 90-second walking-in summary, fumbles the first technical question because they don't have the context. Deal stalls. Here's how AI fixes the SE bring-in.

CSMAM

CS to AM: expansion trigger handoff that doesn't kill the relationship

Customer is healthy. CSM sees expansion signal — new use case in adjacent team, hiring spree, exec change. Handoff to AM. If done wrong, customer feels sold-to and the renewal sours. Here's how to do it with the buyer noticing zero seams.

AEREVOPS

Pod rituals: weekly sync with AI prep that doesn't waste 30 minutes

Most GTM pods run a weekly account review. 30 minutes. Reps update status verbally. Manager nods. Nobody decides anything. AI fixes this in 4 minutes of pre-work and turns the meeting into actual decisions.

SDRAE

SDR to AE: briefing your AE in 60 seconds with Claude

Your SDR books a meeting. The AE walks into discovery cold. Six months of conversation history live in three tools no one reads. This is the handoff that loses deals before they start — and the one AI can fix end-to-end.
