Executive Summary

Successfully expanded account from $1.2M to $2.4M ARR (100% growth) over 12 months. Reduced churn from 40% to 5%. Achieved 95% CSAT score. Account became reference customer and participated in 3 case studies. Expansion included FIDO2 migration for 50,000+ users and additional compliance modules.

The Challenge

A Fortune 500 healthcare provider was experiencing 40% churn in their IAM solution due to poor onboarding and lack of technical enablement. The account was at risk of non-renewal, representing $1.2M ARR. The customer's CISO expressed frustration with the complexity of the solution and lack of support during critical compliance audits.

Strategic Approach

Developed a comprehensive account recovery strategy using MEDDIC methodology. Identified the CISO as the economic buyer and built a champion network including the VP of IT and Director of Security. Created a technical enablement program with weekly training sessions and dedicated SE support. Positioned the solution as critical for HIPAA compliance and positioned expansion opportunities around FIDO2 migration.

Execution

Orchestrated a cross-functional team including SE, CSM, and Legal to address all concerns. Conducted quarterly business reviews with C-suite stakeholders. Implemented a phased expansion plan starting with pilot departments. Created custom workflows in Salesforce to track all touchpoints and ensure no issues fell through the cracks. Provided hands-on technical enablement during critical HIPAA audit periods.

Objections Handled

"Budget constraints - can't justify additional spend"

Demonstrated ROI through reduced support tickets (40% decrease) and compliance audit success. Positioned expansion as cost-saving through consolidation of identity providers.

"Technical complexity concerns"

Created comprehensive training program with dedicated SE support. Provided custom documentation and workflow guides specific to their environment.

"Integration challenges with existing systems"

Coordinated with SE team to create custom integration scripts. Provided proof-of-concept in non-production environment before full deployment.

Key Takeaways

Key lesson: Proactive engagement during compliance audits builds trust and positions you as a strategic partner, not just a vendor. The technical enablement program was critical - customers need to see value immediately, not just hear about it.
