CSM struggles to manage a demanding customer who expects unlimited ad-hoc meetings beyond the standard monthly cadence, threatening churn when boundaries are set.

No structured way to enforce meeting cadence, provide asynchronous self-service support, or deflect repetitive questions; customer refuses to use internal IT and demands direct CSM access without agenda.
