The Hidden Revenue Leak in Your CRM

Real Example: How UserGems Customer Turned 1 Champion Into $2.3M Pipeline

TechFlow's former customer success champion, Sarah Chen, left for a VP Engineering role at three different startups over 18 months. Each time, UserGems detected the move within 48 hours:

• Move 1: Sarah → VP Eng at ScaleUp Corp
  Result: $400K deal in 8 weeks (vs. 6-month typical cycle)

• Move 2: Sarah → CTO at GrowthTech
  Result: $650K enterprise deal + 3 referrals

• Move 3: Sarah → Head of Platform at UnicornCo
  Result: $1.2M strategic partnership

Total value from tracking 1 champion: $2.3M+

"Sarah already knew our platform solved her problems. We just had to be there when she needed us again." - TechFlow Sales Director

Champion Tracking vs. Cold Outreach

How Champion Tracking Works

Detect

Runs weekly or continuously. The workflow:

• Monitors your CRM contacts & LinkedIn for job changes:

  • Filters for past clients, warm leads, and prior champions

• Detects new job titles and companies:

  • Uses a job change Execue tracking API

• Verifies it’s a true job change (not a promotion or role update)

Qualify

• Enriches new company profile:

  • Headcount, tech stack, open roles, recent growth

  • ICP match based on industry, location, hiring needs

• Scores lead based on:

  • Prior engagement with your team

  • Seniority and influence at the new company

  • Fit of the new company for your services

Engage

Routes to next step:

📬 Mid-score → Enters warm re-engagement email flow

Though there are more subtle techniques to engage champions, it’s better to make them a gift and engage with sales conversation in 1-2 months, after they pass their onboarding gap
