Irit and Meenal provide a thorough guide on preparing, conducting, and following up on EBRs, offering invaluable insights for Customer Success Managers (CSMs) and team leaders seeking actionable advice. Meenal, leveraging her extensive experience in both presenting and attending EBRs, imparts wisdom on key components of an impactful EBR session.

Key topics include:

• Optimal EBR frequency based on customer profiles
• Distinctive attributes of EBRs versus QBRs
• Specific success indicators and metrics for EBRs
• The role of online questionnaires in EBR prep
• Aligning internal stakeholders on agenda and timeline
