Champion Development

Who inside this account is actually driving value - and who isn't...

I built this play to answer that question. It operates only on adopted or performing accounts, ignoring the noise to find the signal. This is behavioral signal detection, not contact scraping.

Executive Summary

  • Purpose: Champion Development
  • Key sections: The Problem It Solves, What the Play Does, How It Works (High Level)
  • Focus: Who inside this account is actually driving value - and who isn't...

The Problem It Solves

In most accounts, usage exists but ownership is unclear. Influence is assumed instead of proven, and risk hides inside 'active' accounts.

It addresses common false assumptions:

  • Logged-in != champion
  • Title != influence
  • Adoption != advocacy

What the Play Does

  • Identifies users driving adoption
  • Separates leaders from passive participants
  • Flags missing ownership
  • Surfaces candidates for enablement, cultivation, or risk mitigation

The output is a clear map of human leverage inside the account.

How It Works (High Level)

  1. Account context is established (only meaningful activity)
  2. User behavior is analyzed
  3. Influence is inferred from behavior, not titles
  4. Actionable outputs are generated

Execution is constrained by system rules and standards.

What This Enables

  • Focus enablement on the right people
  • Reduce single-threaded risk
  • Support expansion or renewal conversations
  • Act before disengagement becomes visible

What This Play Is Not

  • Guess at influence
  • Rely on anecdotes
  • Replace human judgment
  • Automatically create outreach

It surfaces signal, not decisions.
