Does Your Sales Team Hurt Customer Success?

  Sometimes it's a bad thing when the sales team closes the deal. A customer experience may involve a salesperson promising something that the customer success team can't deliver. This causes problems for everyone and can lead to churn. Because sales isn't typically incentivized on renewals, a hyper-efficient sales team can create a bad customer experience if they are crushing quota with the wrong people or in the wrong way. How do you stop this?
