Championship-Tracking

Your Best Customers Are Switching Jobs (And Taking Million-Dollar Opportunities With Them)

Track your champions, win their new companies

Every month, your happiest customers are moving to new roles at companies that need exactly what you sell. While you're cold-calling strangers, these warm relationships are walking into C-suite positions with budget and buying power.

Champion tracking automatically finds these moves and helps you re-engage before your competitors even know they exist.

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
