The situation
Your quarterly business review with a strategic account is in an hour and it's set up to be a snooze: a 30-slide deck of vanity metrics. In the room: a budget-skeptical CFO, a power-user champion, an IT director worried about a migration, and an exec sponsor who'll decide next year's spend. You have to run a QBR that proves value, surfaces and handles the migration risk, and tees up next quarter's expansion — without reading slides at people who've stopped listening.
