## High potential customers
For TAE-led customers who will be landing at $100k+ a year or have high expansion potential into new product areas, we should introduce a TAM earlier on than normal.
The prime time for this is when the technical win is confirmed - the TAM should be introduced to the customer by the TAE in an evaluation or POC wrap-up call when we know that the customer has selected PostHog.
The introduction is purely for relationship building and continuity purposes so that the TAM can hit the ground running with the customer after the initial contract is signed. It's still on the TAE to work with the customer on contracts etc, and as such only the TAE will be recognized on the initial contract for commission purposes. After the initial deal is closed won the TAM will take over the account in their book of business.
The TAE and TAM should use their overlapping time to work with the customer on a documented onboarding plan per the above guidance.
