Handle AE/CSM friction on a shared account

Diagnose and settle an AE/CSM dispute over account ownership without damaging the customer or the number.

About this prompt

This prompt helps an AE, CSM, or AM resolve friction with their counterpart on a shared account when the two are stepping on each other or disagree on how to handle the customer. It names the real disagreement, applies an account-first tiebreaker, and gives you the opener for a constructive conversation. Use it when the friction is actively slowing a deal, renewal, or relationship.When an AE and CSM clash over who owns the expansion or how to handle a customer, the dispute usually costs the account before either person wins it. This prompt helps you resolve it constructively. Describe the account in CUSTOMER, VALUE, WHAT'S HAPPENING; name the conflict in WHAT WE DISAGREE ON; lay out BOTH SIDES; state what's at risk in THE DEAL/RENEWAL/RELATIONSHIP THIS IS AFFECTING; and rate the working relationship in GOOD / STRAINED. It pins whether the friction is about ownership, priorities, approach, or coordination, reframes it around what's best for the account, steelmans the other person's position, gives you a fair resolution and a collaborative opener, and proposes a working agreement to prevent a repeat. Use this for an active two-person dispute, not for setting up co-ownership from scratch — the joint account-plan prompt covers that. Tip: fill BOTH SIDES honestly, because the prompt will tell you when you're the one over-reaching, and that read is the most useful part.
