Late-Stage Deal Risk. In-Flight Delivery Gaps. At-Risk Renewals.
We Step In — Before the Escalation.
Most delivery problems have warning signs. We recognize them early, because we’ve led from both sides of the table — the client’s business and IT organization, and the Salesforce practice delivery side. That dual vantage point is why Salesforce AEs, SEs, and CSMs call us first.
We are the senior functional and delivery leadership resource for the Salesforce field — protecting your customer, your partner relationship, and your number at the moments that carry the most risk.
We protect your accounts, your partner relationships, and your number.
Senior delivery and functional leadership — embedded where the risk actually is, before it becomes a problem you’re managing after the fact.
We are the senior resource Salesforce AEs, SEs, and CSMs call when the stakes are high and the window for course correction is still open.
We step in at the functional and governance layer — the layer where most deal risk and delivery failures originate. Pre-close, mid-implementation, and heading into renewal.
The Layer That Carries the Risk
Technology is rarely the failure point. The gaps that derail deals, damage relationships, and threaten renewals almost always sit at the functional layer: misaligned discovery, governance that went dormant, a delivery that drifted from what was promised.
We bring 25 years of dual-perspective leadership — client side and partner side — to the precise moments where that risk surfaces. Close enough to the work to catch it early.
Our Services for the Salesforce Field
Every situation carries different risk. We work alongside AEs, SEs, and CSMs to identify where we can have the most impact — and scope our involvement accordingly.
A deal that closes on shaky functional assumptions becomes a delivery problem within the first sprint. By then, the damage to the customer relationship — and the referral — has already started. Pre-close discovery is where that risk either gets addressed or gets deferred.
We work directly with Salesforce AEs and SEs to surface functional and delivery risk before signature: identifying what the customer’s environment actually requires, where the proposed solution has gaps against stated business needs, and what the partner needs to know before they commit to a scope and timeline.
- Current-state business process assessment
- Requirements and solution gap identification
- Scope definition and assumptions documentation
- Partner-readiness and delivery credibility review
- LOE and delivery approach advisory
- Executive stakeholder discovery facilitation
- Risk identification before contract signature
- Proposal review and positioning support
In-flight delivery problems rarely announce themselves cleanly. Sprint velocity drops. Stakeholder satisfaction begins to erode. Scope questions multiply. The customer grows quieter — or louder. The partner is managing internally while trying to hold the client relationship.
We step in as the senior delivery and functional lead — diagnosing the failure points, stabilizing the governance framework, and building a recovery plan the customer can actually trust. We’ve worked from both sides of the table, which means we know where delivery goes wrong at the functional layer and how to address it without destabilizing what’s still working.
- Delivery audit and root-cause assessment
- Recovery roadmap and re-scoping
- Stakeholder re-alignment and trust repair
- RAID log reconstruction and risk ownership
- Governance framework stabilization
- Sprint cadence and backlog triage
- Escalation management and executive communication
- Partner-side coaching and process correction
By the time a CSM flags an account as at-risk, the functional problems driving that risk have usually been accumulating for months. Poor adoption. Unrealized outcomes. Unresolved implementation gaps that the customer is still carrying. Low confidence in whether the platform is actually doing what they were told it would do.
We step in as the senior functional layer — auditing what was built against what was promised, closing the gaps the customer can see and the ones they can’t articulate yet, and building a stabilization path that gives the CSM a credible renewal narrative to bring back to the account.
- Platform-to-requirements gap assessment
- Adoption barrier identification and remediation planning
- KPI alignment review against original business case
- User story and configuration audit
- Stakeholder confidence re-engagement plan
- Phased remediation roadmap for CSM-led delivery
- Executive-ready findings and recovery summary
- Renewal narrative development
Salesforce AEs and SEs move fast through the deal cycle. Discovery depth often gets compressed by timeline pressure — leaving assumptions baked into scope, LOE, and partner selection that surface as delivery problems after signature.
We support field reps with senior-level functional advisory during the pre-sales phase: helping sharpen discovery, stress-test proposed solutions against actual business requirements, and strengthen the delivery narrative before the proposal is finalized.
- Discovery workshop facilitation
- Business requirements validation
- Proposal and scope review
- Partner capability and fit advisory
- Solution positioning and tradeoff analysis
- Executive-level presentation support
Salesforce AEs and SEs often get visibility into delivery health through the customer’s lens — and that lens is shaped more by governance quality than by technical output. Are stakeholders aligned? Are decisions getting made? Are risks being managed visibly?
We provide senior PMO and governance leadership embedded directly into the delivery — maintaining RAID, running steering cadences, keeping stakeholders informed at the right level of detail, and ensuring the customer’s confidence in the work stays intact through every phase.
- PMO framework design and implementation
- RAID log ownership and risk escalation
- Steering committee and stakeholder reporting
- Sprint governance and backlog leadership
- Milestone tracking and delivery accountability
- Change control process design
