TA Cadences

Daily

Vitally will auto-assign a number of tasks based on the playbooks we have configured. You also have the ability to set these tasks on your own based on your conversations with customers. You should be driving this list to completion as much as possible.

Be a good teammate! Make sure to update your Account Executive, Customer Engineer or SDR with any information that could impact their work, even if it is just a status update.
Collaborate with your team on activities that would help the goals you have for customers like feature adoption or upgrading.
Utilize internal customer slack channels to keep internal stakeholders informed of what’s going on. This doesn’t mean provide a daily update, be thinking about whether or not there’s relevant happenings that would benefit posting a proactive update in the internal customer channel.

This could be trainings, check-in calls, troubleshooting, whatever meetings need to be set up to facilitate the customer’s journey with Sourcegraph.
As requests come in from customers make sure you surface feedback to the product team

Be mindful of customers with shared slack channels. Ensure you’re monitoring the requests coming in and that they are getting appropriate responses in a timely manner.

TA Team Meeting will be held on a bi-weekly basis. Topics will include team announcements, trainings and new processes as we roll them out, and active discussion amongst the team on customer situations.

Vitally is where we keep the state of a customer, including information around deployment, new feature adoption and customer comms. Make sure that you are keeping this up to date and reviewing your accounts weekly to make sure that the information is up to date for leadership

Make sure that you are connecting with your AEs either weekly or bi-weekly. Use this time to strategize, coordinate, and align on your plans and activities for each customer account.

Review customer pings and data to determine what could be done to help improve their health, see TA Activites, and strategize with your champion.

A Vitally project will trigger each month for every account that reminds you to update the Pulse, Access to Buyer and Active Champion traits.

Happen on the second week of every month.
30-minute sessions.
Attendees: TA, TA Director and TS VP.
Goal: monthly checkpoint to review 3 accounts for a TA based on the Account Success Planning
3 account selection criteria:
- Top ARR spend
- Renewing in the CFQ (Current Fiscal Quarter)
- Accounts with expansion opportunities.
Agenda:
1. (5 mins) Customer Health Metrics Review
2. (15 minutes) Top 3 accounts review; 5 minutes per account.
3. (5 minutes) Remove blockers mentioned in ASPs: TA asks for help to remove blockers and expedite the execution of the Account Success Plan goals.

Announce version and patch updates to customers, if an issue or feature request a customer has reported is included in an upgrade or patch make sure they know!
Think about relevant tips & tricks that would be helpful to share out to increase usage and value.

Happen on the first week of every fiscal quarter. 60 minute sessions per AE. TA joins the sessions with accounts that are shared between AE & TA.
Attendees: AE, TA, CE; Product, Finance, Legal, TS & Sales leadership.
TS and Sales leadership select which accounts will be reviewed each quarter.
Goal: Opportunity for account teams (AE, TA & CE) to showcase the main account success plan goals, what are the strategies to execute them and ask the rest of the Sourcegraph business for help.

As new business closes TA’s will be assigned to accounts to lead them through the Onboarding and Enablement process.

Email, Slack, Zoom, or even in-person are all potential ways that you’ll be interacting with your customers. Every customer should be contacted in some form at least once a month.
Customer check-ins, these will take varying forms depending on the relationship with the customer, the idea is to make sure we are maintaining a high level of engagement with each customer.
- These would be a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly all the way to quarterly 30-60 minute call, depending on the customer
- For healthy accounts this could be a quick email or slack message
