One of the steps that our CSMs use in their playbooks is to also reach out to our champion/sponsor in their new organization to find out if the team there is looking for solutions such as ours. Our champions can help us get introduced to the team and decision makers there, potentially creating an opportunity to sell our solution to this new company.
