Sales Handover
Sales Handover transforms a closed deal's stakeholders, goals, commitments, risk, commercials and history directly into the customer's starting state, so the CSM begins with live context instead of reconstructing the relationship from a summary.
What does the CSM actually know when the deal closes?
What changes across the three columns isn't whether a handover happens, it's whether the CSM receives a document to read or a customer record already built from the closed deal's stakeholders, commitments and risk.

When the deal closes
Handover starts from scratch
Nothing exists for CS yet, the AE only begins filling out a template, document or handover call once the deal is marked closed won.
A document, not a start
AI drafts a handover summary the moment the deal closes, but it's a new artefact to read, not anything the customer's account yet contains.
The account starts forming
The closed deal's stakeholders, goals, commitments, risk and commercial history begin transforming into the customer's starting state the moment the deal closes.
When CS opens the account
Blank account, plus a PDF
The CSM opens a new account with nothing in it, and a separate handover document to read and reconcile before doing anything else.
Still two things to reconcile
A generated summary sits alongside the empty account rather than inside it, so the CSM still has to translate it into the record they work from.
Live context on open
The CSM opens the account and finds stakeholders, use cases, expected outcomes and commitments already there, not a document to translate first.
Validating what was promised
Promises reconstructed from memory
What the AE actually promised gets pieced together from notes, emails and recollection, and by validation time some of it has already blurred.
One line, no structure
The summary states what was promised in a sentence or two, so checking a specific commitment means going back to the original notes anyway.
Commitments held to evidence
Every commitment carries the evidence it came from, so the AE and CSM confirm what still holds against the record itself, not a paraphrase of it.
When a commitment is tested
No record to check against
Whether a promised outcome or timeline is on track during implementation isn't compared back to what was said at close, because the handover document isn't a living reference.
Frozen at handover
The generated summary is fixed at the moment it was written, so it can't show whether a commitment made at close is still on track.
Commitments stay checkable
Because the commitment stays attached to the customer's live state, the CSM and AE can see whether it's on track or has drifted.
When onboarding or renewal completes
The gap repeats itself
Whatever went missing from this handover, a stakeholder, a risk, a promise, has no route back into how the next AE fills out the template.
Same shape, every outcome
A generated summary keeps the same format whether the account onboarded smoothly or the relationship broke down soon after handover.
The standard gets sharper
Onboarding and renewal outcomes show which handover details actually predicted customer success, with RevOps configuring whether what the next handover captures updates automatically or waits for their approval.
It carries the closed deal's stakeholders, commitments, risk and commercial history into the customer's starting state, applying product, pricing, sales process and value-realisation logic, with every commitment traced to where it was agreed and the AE and CSM confirming what still holds.
It lowers the cost of every handoff and shortens time-to-value, because the CSM starts from a populated account instead of rebuilding the relationship from a summary, cutting the discovery work onboarding usually repeats.

Frequently Asked Questions
AI-native GTM Systems didn't exist two years ago - here are the questions everyone wants answered.
Talk to Us→Sales Handover doesn't compress the deal into a written summary the way a manual handover does. It carries stakeholders, goals, commitments, risk and commercial history directly out of the closed deal's record into the customer's, as structured evidence rather than a paragraph, and the AE and CSM confirm what still holds before implementation starts.
Sales Handover assembles the starting customer record automatically, but the AE and CSM still validate the commitments and implementation-sensitive context before CS acts on it. Nothing tied to an onboarding promise or a contractual term moves forward without that check, so automation speeds up the assembly, not the accountability.
Sales Handover replaces the whole handover document, including the summary that used to sit inside it. Where a document is a paragraph someone reads before they can act, the customer's account already carries the deal's stakeholders, use cases, expected outcomes, commitments, risk and commercial history, so the CSM opens live context rather than a blank account plus a summary to interpret.
Sales Handover's judgement of what to carry over does improve. As accounts move through onboarding and renewal, the outcomes show which part of the handover, a commitment, a stakeholder detail, a risk, actually predicted whether the customer succeeded. RevOps configures each update to what the next handover captures as either fully automated or human-in-the-loop, owning the governance either way.
AI can automate parts of a sales-to-CS handoff, but automating a summary isn't the same as automating the handoff itself. Sales Handover turns the closed deal's stakeholders, commitments, risk and commercials directly into the customer's starting state, and the AE and CSM validate it before CS begins, so automation handles the transfer, not the judgement.
A CSM should receive the customer's stakeholders, use cases, expected outcomes, commitments, risk, commercial terms and relationship history, not a summary of the deal. Sales Handover carries that context directly into the customer's starting state, so the CSM begins with an account that already reflects it, validated by the AE and CSM together before implementation starts.
