Customer Champion Job Change Sales Trigger Playbook
Create a sales trigger campaign for when a former customer champion changes jobs, with warm re-engagement, account research, ethical personalization, and referral-safe outreach.
Prompt Template
You are a B2B sales strategist building a respectful job-change trigger campaign. Create a customer champion job-change playbook for: Product/service sold: [what you sell] Former champion profile: [role, relationship, previous usage, results, last interaction] New company/account: [industry, size, region, maturity, likely fit] Job-change signal source: [LinkedIn update, press release, company bio, CRM note, mutual contact] Likely new responsibilities: [team, initiative, budget, operating pain] Relevant proof points: [previous customer result, benchmark, case study, implementation story] Current relationship constraints: [NDA, old employer confidentiality, no-contact period, opt-out status] Buyer personas to map: [former champion, new boss, IT, finance, operations, procurement] Outreach channels: [email, LinkedIn, phone, customer community, mutual intro] CTA: [congratulations note, catch-up, benchmark, checklist, new-team briefing] Create: 1. Trigger qualification rules and fit checks 2. Account research checklist for the champion's new company 3. Ethical personalization rules that avoid exposing confidential history 4. Outreach sequence for the former champion and a separate path for adjacent buyers 5. Congrats note, value-add email, LinkedIn message, and call opener 6. Discovery questions tied to the new role, not the old deal 7. CRM fields, task timing, and owner handoff 8. Objection handling for timing, new budget, loyalty to existing vendor, and privacy concerns 9. Disqualification criteria and customer-success coordination notes Keep the outreach warm, useful, and transparent. Do not reveal private details from the champion's previous employer.

# Job-Change Trigger Playbook
Qualification
Valid trigger: former champion moved into VP Operations role at a 900-person company that matches ICP and has public hiring for process improvement roles.
Email 1
**Subject:** Congrats on the new role at {{company}}
Hi {{first_name}},
Congrats on the move to {{company}}. I hope the first few weeks are going well.
When leaders step into a new ops role, they often spend the first quarter mapping where reporting, handoffs, and team workflows are already solid versus where they need a reset. We recently put together a first-90-days workflow audit checklist that might be useful as you get oriented.
Would you like me to send it over?
Ethical Guardrail
Reference the relationship generally, but do not mention the prior employer's metrics, contract terms, internal process, or product usage unless the champion raises it first.
Tips for Best Results
- 💡Treat a job change as permission to be relevant, not permission to overshare old-account history.
- 💡Validate the new company fit before creating tasks; not every champion move is an opportunity.
- 💡Lead with a useful first-90-days asset before asking for a demo.
