Q: 10
What support should an RM take from the CSM?

I don't see how A would fit, since new greenfield opps are usually the AM or sales side, not something CSM supports RMs with. Pretty sure B is right-communicating value/impact is classic CSM territory and that's what helps the RM. If I'm missing some scenario nuance here, let me know.
Yeah, B for sure. That aligns with the CSM job of showing solution value.
Probably B. There’s a subtle difference: RM focuses on renewal, CSM’s job is all about driving value and highlighting Cisco solution impact to customers. I’ve seen similar wording in exam practice. If the question asked about upsell, maybe A, but not here.
Seriously, Cisco keeps mixing up these RM and CSM roles on every practice test. Anyone else think B is best fit here?
A is wrong, B is what the CSM really helps with. On Cisco exams and official guides, value communication and customer adoption are the main CSM tasks that support RMs. Labs and practice questions usually reinforce this split. Pretty sure about B here but open to counterpoints.
C isn't it. CSMs mostly handle value messaging so B matches the typical split with RMs. Booking customer-service briefings feels extra and not their main support task here. Pretty sure sticking with B is safest unless Cisco changed things up.
B
Is anyone thinking C could fit if the RM is super involved in managing events, or is that all on the Account team? I usually see the CSM handle value comms (so B), but does Cisco even expect RMs to book customer-service briefings themselves?
A , if RM is driving new greenfield deals and CSM assists early, that fits some scenarios.
Yeah, makes sense, it's B. CSMs always focus on communicating value and impact, that's what supports the RM best here.
Be respectful. No spam.
