📞 VIP customers → @customer-success + @account-manager

Mention etiquette:
├─ @here only for urgent issues
├─ @channel for team-wide announcements
├─ Specific @mentions for direct assignments
└─ @everyone only for company-wide criticals
```

├─ Thread reply 1: Technical details (for devs)
├─ Thread reply 2: Business context (for sales)
