Drawing the line between Professional Services and Technical Customer Success Management
We have had customers want to retract their PS services because of the technical knowledge and support their T-CSMs can provide.
How should technical CSM teams handle the boundaries between Professional Services and CSMs?
What is the best way to ensure our T-CSMs aren't negatively affecting revenue if they are technical enough to have this happen?

Also, if you have these things internally, do you use them in onboarding as well, so you're setting proper expectations with your customers. Ex: Have a slide in onboarding that outlines the role of: Success, Support(level someone bought), PSO. It also sets the stage for incremental earlier on in the sale process. Ex-you bought implementation services which is great for where you are now, but we also have advisory services, health check services, architecture/growth services, etc, etc.
Lastly, do your T-CSMs even realize they are negatively affectively revenue? Seems like a good enablement opportunity to go back to them and say, "Did you realize in this convo you did x, y, z, and the impact it had. Next time how would you feel positioning it this way...."
