“I really like to think of success plans as one of the many tools in my toolbox. I don’t need it for every client or for every situation, but it can be extremely valuable when I see the need for it.  
“Having these plans can play a big role in consistently driving success, and consistently seeing wins and growing, which is really what we want to focus on with those larger clients.”

A little bit about Melanie

Melanie’s career has been pretty varied, to say the least. But, in truth, is any career linear?

After starting out in a chemistry lab undertaking environmental testing, she quickly realized that her favorite part of the job was a simple one: working with people and developing those relationships.

From there, she pivoted and became an Account Manager for an environmental services firm. Getting into tech was her end goal, and now she’s a CSM in a SaaS company and has never looked back.
