Most SaaS companies believe they have a retention problem. What they actually have is a Customer Success operating model problem.

The team is busy. Customers are being “managed.” But expansion is inconsistent, churn creeps in, and Customer Success isn’t driving the revenue it should. That’s where I come in. I help SaaS companies turn Customer Success into a predictable revenue engine — one that drives retention, expansion, and long-term customer value. Over the past 20+ years I’ve worked across sales, account management, and customer success in recurring-revenue businesses. My focus is helping leadership teams redesign how revenue is generated from their existing customers. The outcomes typically look like this: • Customer retention improved by 15% in one quarter • Expansion revenue increased 25% in six weeks through structured upsell programs • 98% upsell success rate across 250+ customers after pricing and process redesign • Onboarding success improved from 20–40% to 80% • One client increased revenue 30% in a year after implementing CS and sales playbooks • Another improved NRR by 20% in four months What clients say “Within 3 months, we had better retention and the highest reactivation we’ve ever had. Customer Success is now driving 92% of all new revenue through expansion. Most importantly, Julie got our team grounded and focused on the right activities.” — Chris Contreras, CCO, MNTN A few highlights from my career • Managing Director, Customer Success Lead, and Revenue Architect at Winning by Design • Built the Customer Success practice at Winning by Design, growing it to 30% of company revenue • Built an Account Management function at Influitive that outsold the sales team • Led more than $5M in full-funnel go-to-market transformation projects • Independent board member at 7shifts since 2019 What I work on with leadership teams • Customer Success operating model redesign • Expansion and upsell strategy • Onboarding and activation systems • Customer Success pipeline discipline • Training CSMs to lead commercial customer conversations and how to sell I’m also the creator of a training program that helps Customer Success Managers learn how to sell and drive expansion revenue with their customers.
