Every AE team has been a bottleneck at some point. The backlog never shrinks. You got looped in after the decision is already made. But it doesn't have to be that way.
The teams who have broken out of the queue didn't do it by working faster or saying yes to everything. They did it by repositioning how their team shows up. They shifted from reactive support function to proactive strategic force.
In this peer exchange, we have an honest conversation about what that shift actually looks like in practice. How do you earn a seat at the strategic table and keep it? How do you set boundaries without becoming a blocker? How do you build an internal brand that makes stakeholders want to bring you in early, not loop you last?
