How do I assess the health of a customer account?
Classify a customer's health score to guide proactive engagement and retention strategy. Use this tree during your regular account reviews or whenever a trigger event—such as a low NPS, a support spike, or a missed check-in—prompts a reassessment. The outcome drives the cadence and urgency of your next CSM action.
How should I escalate this customer issue?
Determine the appropriate escalation path when a customer issue exceeds normal CSM handling. This tree helps you move quickly and confidently when a situation is deteriorating, ensuring the right people are engaged at the right time. Use it the moment you sense an issue may outgrow your ability to resolve it alone.
Is this customer ready for an expansion or upsell conversation?
Evaluate whether an existing customer is ready for an upsell or cross-sell conversation and determine the right next action. Acting on expansion signals too early—before a customer has fully adopted the core product—can damage trust and accelerate churn. This tree helps you distinguish genuine expansion readiness from surface-level interest so you invest your time in opportunities with the highest probability of closing.
Which customer onboarding track should I use?
Determine which onboarding track a new customer should follow based on their contract size, technical profile, and implementation complexity. Routing a customer to the right track from day one directly impacts time-to-value, adoption rates, and long-term retention. Use this tree as soon as a deal is closed and before the kickoff call is scheduled.
Which renewal strategy should I use for this customer?
Determine the right renewal approach for an upcoming contract based on account health, product adoption trends, and commercial signals. Use this tree at least 90 days before a renewal date to give your team enough runway to execute the recommended strategy. The outcome maps directly to a specific CSM playbook and internal resource allocation.
