Suited for both. However, Account Managers should be comfortable embracing customer success as the north star of their efforts, as this focus will ultimately lead to more upsell opportunities.
As we explain in the training, Customer Success Managers should view upsells as a primary objective in customer interactions. A successfully upsold client is far more likely to renew their service, whereas a client without an upsell has a much higher likelihood of not renewing (around 50%). Proactively guiding customers toward an upsell is therefore the strongest predictor of renewal success.
No. Beginners can take this course and use its essence as guiding principles for effective CSM work. We cover most facets of a CSM’s role, always with a focus on maintaining a commercial and proactive approach to the customer–company relationship — ultimately benefiting the customer as well.
Past training participants have measured success using KPIs such as:
Manageable:
-
More than 75% of participants agree that the training increased their confidence in upselling.
-
More than 50% of accounts (over 100k) have clear desired outcomes and white space maps by the end of the year.
-
Of the 3–4 accounts named/discussed per key account manager, 75% have new revenue-creating activities or agreements set within three months of the training.
Revenue-focused:
-
25% increase in CSQLs within three months.
-
50% increase in upsell revenue within six months.
-
The minimum number of training participants is 5, which is an amount that also justifies the tailoring of content and preparation for the training for Nils. The maximum classroom size is around 12 participants. For larger groups, we'd simply split the groups.

Not at all. It’s valuable for anyone conducting early-stage conversations — SDRs and even founders. However, since I believe the discovery phase is the most important part of the sales process, I personally advocate designing sales processes so that AEs own the majority of the discovery phase, while SDRs focus only on a light pre-qualification.
Yes, we align our framework with your preferred methodology for seamless adoption. MEDDIC and similar frameworks are primarily about data collection, but the discovery process still relies on certain evergreen skills. That said, we will also address specific topics — for example, how to ask about the competition and how to clarify the decision-making process — as these questions can be challenging for some.
Definitely. Reviewing playbacks from such tools enhances learning and helps pinpoint areas for improvement. Nevertheless, Gong and Chorus still require manual setup to define which questions should be tracked in the first place — which is why, in this training, we first need to establish what we want to ask those systems. Moreover, I believe in using role-plays as a kind of sandbox environment, a safe testing ground for new questioning techniques that won’t cost thousands of dollars if a sales rep makes a mistake. That’s why AI role-play tools like Jam (affiliated) are also highly recommendable.

No, the Discovery course and the Demo course are closely linked, simply because a good demo should focus solely on the pain points uncovered during the discovery call. Moreover, in many real-world sales processes, discovery and demo calls are often merged. This training provides guidance for handling those situations — which, while not ideal from a sales theory perspective, occur frequently enough that they cannot be ignored.
This training focuses on delivering the most relevant information in a memorable way. It covers techniques such as storytelling (stories stick 22x better than facts), anchoring, repetition, prioritizing pains, engaging customers to maintain their attention, and many more.

AI SDRs flood all channels with noise, making it more difficult to stand out. Luckily, the best-practices taught in this training are evergreen and prevail in times of increasing white-noise. We will make use of AI for lead research and automation of non-essential task, but keep the outreach human.
Account executives and SDRs in B2B SaaS companies.
Outbound is most effective for companies with an annual contract value (ACV) above €7.5K. For lower ACV brackets, the focus should be on efficiency and scalability through streamlined processes and automation. For higher, enterprise-level ACVs, the emphasis shifts to deeper account research, developing buying hypotheses, and highly targeted engagement strategies.
As part of the analysis we look at current tooling, incentives, focus and also individual performances. An expert advice on the current setup and improvements thereof are also included.
