Apollo CSM Pilot Resource Hub

Everything XR CSMs need before, during, and after the kickoff.

This hub collects the kickoff deck, one-pager, pilot flow, and workflow references for the Extreme Reach customer success pilot. The focus is simple: owned accounts, net-new contacts, manual send control, and a clear crawl, walk, run rollout.

Resource Library

Start with the kickoff materials, then keep the pilot flow close.

Each asset is packaged in this folder so the hub can run as a local file or be staged as static content later. HTML resources open in a new tab. PDF versions are included where the source set already had them.

Between Now and Kickoff

Owner-specific action list for Nick, Becky, Carlton, and Kerri Ann before the May 20 session, centered on field readiness and CSM setup.

Pilot Operating Path

Crawl first, add the Monday loop, then turn on advanced workflows.

The pilot is designed so CSMs stay in control. Contacts can be reviewed, approved, declined, enriched, and sequenced without letting first-touch emails fire automatically.

Weeks 1-2

Crawl: get comfortable

CSMs log in, filter to accounts they own, build persona lists manually, and learn where net-new contacts live in Apollo.

Weeks 3-5

Walk: run Monday approvals

Saved filters surface 10 to 25 new contacts per rep. Reps approve or decline each candidate before enrichment and sequencing.

Week 6+

Run: add trusted automation

After the team builds confidence, XR can test auto-send for trusted sequences, AI assistant support, and CI keyword tagging.

Readiness Gate

The pilot depends on two fields and three decisions.

These are the items to check before the kickoff becomes a live build rather than a conceptual walkthrough.

Field mapping

Required field

CSM Owner: synced from Salesforce to Apollo and usable as a list filter before Wednesday 5/20.

Required guardrail

Active Platform User: Pendo-driven flag under PII review with Becky, used to keep current XR users out of prospecting lists.

Later phase

Conversation Intelligence keywords: custom call tags that can update Salesforce fields after the weekly loop is stable.

Decisions to confirm

01

Which six CSM reps are in the first pilot cohort, and who owns final activation links?

02

Which persona should each rep build first: marketing, ops, sales, or creative?

03

What success metric decides whether the pilot expands to the full CS team?
