Advisory · Kaiser CX

A thinking partner who's
been in the operational reality.

For CS leaders who don't need more frameworks — they need a sparring partner who understands what it's like when the team is under capacity, the data is incomplete, and leadership still expects results.

Not advice from the outside.
Thinking from the inside.

Advisory with me isn't a status report call once a month. It's working through the actual problems — the ones that don't fit neatly into a playbook, where the answer depends on context you can't summarise in a slide.

The value isn't the framework. It's having someone who has run CS teams through hypergrowth, restructuring, and the gap between strategy and Monday morning — and who can think alongside you when it matters.

CONTROL handles the systematic side. Advisory handles everything that requires judgment.

Operational depth, not best practices

I work from what actually happens in CS organisations — not what should happen according to a methodology.

Direct and honest

No hedged answers. If the approach isn't working, I'll say so — and tell you what I'd try instead.

Strategic and specific at once

I can zoom out to the org level and zoom in to a specific account conversation in the same session.

Complementary to CONTROL

Advisory fills what automation can't — the judgment calls, the people dynamics, the decisions that don't have a trigger.

Two formats. One point of contact.

Whether you need ongoing access or a focused session — both are available. Scope is always discussed before we start.

Ongoing

Monthly Retainer

Regular access for CS leaders who want a consistent thinking partner. We meet monthly, with async availability in between for the things that can't wait. Useful for leaders navigating ongoing change — restructuring, scaling, or building the case for CS investment internally.

2 sessions per month (60 min each) Async availability between sessions Minimum 3 months · Pricing on request
Focused

Single Advisory Session

A 90-minute session structured around a specific question or challenge. You come with the problem. We work through it together — diagnosis, options, next steps. No prep required beyond knowing what you want to think through.

90 minutes via video call Written summary sent after the session Bookable as a one-off · Pricing on request

Workshops for CS teams.

Half-day or full-day sessions — online or on-site — built around what your team is actually dealing with, not a standard curriculum.

01

From Reactive to Structured

For CS teams that are always putting out fires. We rebuild the logic of how accounts get prioritised — and what a structured week actually looks like.

Half day · Online or on-site
02

Retention & Expansion Signals

How to read what your accounts are telling you — and how to turn that into consistent, repeatable action before churn or opportunity slips past.

Half day · Online or on-site
03

CS as a Growth Function

For teams that want to make the internal case for CS investment. How to frame NRR, capacity, and coverage in language that lands with leadership.

Full day · Online or on-site

This works best when—

Advisory is most useful for CS leaders who are already capable and experienced. You're not looking for someone to explain the basics. You need a peer-level thinking partner with operational credibility.

You're a Head of CS or CS Team Lead navigating a period of change — growth, restructuring, or building the function from scratch.
You're dealing with a problem that's strategic on the surface but operational underneath — and you need someone who can work at both levels.
Your team needs a focused intervention — not a full consulting engagement, but more than a talk.
You want honest pushback, not validation of decisions you've already made.
You work in B2B SaaS and have an account base that's growing faster than your team's capacity to cover it.

"The best CS leaders I've worked with don't need someone to tell them what to do. They need someone to think alongside them — and to say clearly when the direction isn't working."

— Christiane Kaiser

Let's talk about what you're dealing with.

30 minutes. No pitch. I'll tell you honestly whether advisory makes sense — or whether something else would serve you better.
