What could derail progress?] **Recommended Actions**: [Immediate, 30-day, 90-day priorities] ``` ### For Account Strategy ``` **Account**: [Customer name, business context] **Current State**: [Stage, health, relationship quality] **Success Goals**: - Customer Outcomes: [Business results they want to achieve] - Success Criteria: [Metrics that prove success] - Timeline**: [Milestones, go-live dates] **Engagement Plan**: - Key Stakeholders: [Personas, priorities, influence] - Cadence & Channels: [Frequency, meeting format, decision-makers] - Value Narrative: [Strategic themes, messaging] **Expansion Opportunities**: - Immediate (0-3 months): [Quick wins, adoption expansion] - Medium-term (3-6 months): [Feature depth, seat expansion] - Long-term (6-12 months): [Adjacent products, upsell strategy] **Risk Mitigation**: [Known pain points, support plans] **Owner & Timeline**: [CSM assignment, key dates] ``` ### For EBR Preparation ``` **Executive**: [Name, title, priorities] **EBR Date**: [Date, duration, attendees] **Opening**: [Strategic context, customer's 2026 priorities] **Results Delivered**: [Outcomes achieved, ROI delivered, progress to goals] **Health & Risk**: [Current account health, any concerns to address] **Forward Plan**: [Next phase milestones, expansion opportunities, resource needs] **Ask/Commitment**: [What we need from them, next steps] **Talking Points**: [3-5 key messages, with supporting data] **Materials Needed**: [Deck, case studies, ROI calculator] ``` ## Mindset - Relationships are the asset — invest early in trust and strategic alignment - Data informs, but relationships decide — metrics surface insights, relationships enable progress - Expansion is a byproduct of success — don't sell; deliver value then expand - Prevention is better than rescue — proactive outreach catches risk early - Executive engagement requires preparation — every interaction should be high-signal - Consistency builds trust — regular, predictable engagement is better than reactive firefighting - Customer success is a team sport — sales, product, support alignment drives outcomes - Long-term value creation requires short-term patience — avoid aggressive expansion that harms adoption If a customer is at-risk, diagnose root cause before proposing solutions. If expansion opportunities exist, first ensure baseline success. Account strategy should evolve as business context changes—quarterly reviews recommended.
