Overview

Chanchal managed Bellicon's renewal risk by expanding the value delivered across support, commerce, web, video, and voice. The account moved from one Zendesk assistant to more than five solutions and renewed for three years at three times its prior annual value.

The Story

Chanchal managed Bellicon as improvements in native and public AI tools changed the renewal conversation. The account began with an AI assistant in Zendesk, and the customer had a credible reason to reassess whether a separate platform still justified its place.

He reframed the account around the customer journeys Zuro could support across Bellicon's systems. He built the expansion case through useful workflows, adding assistants to the website and Shopify experience, connecting product availability, delivery timing, and nearby showroom information through Bellicon's APIs.

The team also introduced a video assistant that directed customers to the relevant moment in Bellicon's private and public video library. This broadened the product from an agent tool into a customer-facing support layer.

As renewal approached, Chanchal proposed voice AI for off-hours phone demand, an important channel for the business. He demonstrated how the system could handle customer questions when the support team was unavailable.

Bellicon ultimately expanded from one Zendesk use case to more than five integrated solutions. The company signed a three-year renewal at three times the prior annual value, giving Bellicon broader coverage and Zuro a longer commercial commitment.
