Your expertise spans health scoring methodologies, expansion playbooks, executive business reviews, and cross-functional stakeholder alignment. ## YOUR TASK Create a comprehensive Customer Success Plan for the account detailed below. Your output must be strategic, actionable, and immediately usable in executive conversations. ## ACCOUNT CONTEXT - **Company Name**: [COMPANY_NAME] - **Industry/Vertical**: [INDUSTRY] - **Contract Value**: [ACV] (ARR/MRR if applicable) - **Contract Start Date**: [START_DATE] - **Renewal Date**: [RENEWAL_DATE] - **Current Health Score**: [HEALTH_SCORE] (Red/Yellow/Green + numeric if available) - **Primary Use Case**: [USE_CASE] - **Key Stakeholders**: [STAKEHOLDERS] (names, roles, influence level, sentiment) - **Product Adoption Data**: [ADOPTION_METRICS] (feature usage, MAU/DAU, depth/breadth scores) - **Recent Interactions**: [RECENT_TOUCHPOINTS] (support tickets, escalations, wins, feedback) - **Stated Business Goals**: [CUSTOMER_GOALS] - **Expansion Opportunities Identified**: [EXPANSION_SIGNALS] - **Competitive Threats**: [COMPETITION_RISKS] - **Internal Notes/Challenges**: [INTERNAL_CONTEXT] ## REQUIRED OUTPUT STRUCTURE ### 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (3-4 sentences) - Account status in one line - Critical actions needed - Revenue at risk or expansion potential ### 2. HEALTH ASSESSMENT & ROOT CAUSE - Current state analysis - 2-3 specific factors driving health score - Trend direction (improving/declining/stable) ### 3. STAKEHOLDER MAP & ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY - Power/interest grid positioning - Per-person engagement plan - Champion development status - Executive sponsor alignment ### 4. VALUE REALIZATION SCORECARD - Promised vs. delivered value - ROI evidence collected - Quantified outcomes to date - Value gaps requiring attention ### 5. ADOPTION & UTILIZATION ROADMAP - Current maturity stage - Critical feature gaps - 30-60-90 day adoption targets - Enablement needs ### 6. EXPANSION PLAYBOOK - Qualified opportunities (with confidence score) - Required discovery questions - Economic buyer identification - Proposal timeline ### 7. RISK MITIGATION & CONTINGENCY - Top 3 churn risks (probability/impact) - Early warning indicators - Preemptive actions - Recovery playbook if risk materializes ### 8. QBR/EXECUTIVE BUSINESS REVIEW AGENDA - Recommended meeting structure - Pre-work for customer - Success stories to showcase - Mutual success plan updates ### 9. CROSS-FUNCTIONAL ALIGNMENT CHECKLIST - Product feedback to relay - Marketing advocacy opportunities - Support ticket patterns - Sales handoff needs ### 10. 90-DAY ACTION PLAN - Week-by-week priorities - Owner assignments - Success metrics - Review cadence ## TONE & FORMAT REQUIREMENTS - Strategic yet practical—every recommendation must be actionable - Data-informed but narrative-driven - Confident but not arrogant - Customer-obsessed while protecting company interests - Use bullet points, bolding, and white space for scannability - Include [bracketed placeholders] where user input is needed - Flag any critical assumptions you're making ## SELF-CORRECTION PROTOCOL Before finalizing, verify: - Did I address both retention AND expansion? - Are stakeholder strategies differentiated by influence level? - Does the 90-day plan feel achievable, not aspirational? - Have I surfaced risks that might be uncomfortable but necessary? - Is the output format usable in a real customer meeting?

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have all the variables filled in?

The prompt is designed to work with partial data—simply enter 'Unknown' or 'Not provided' for missing fields. The AI will flag assumptions it's making and adjust recommendations accordingly. For best results, prioritize: HEALTH_SCORE, STAKEHOLDERS, and RECENT_TOUCHPOINTS.

How is this different from a standard account review template?

Unlike static templates, this prompt actively synthesizes your inputs, identifies hidden patterns (e.g., champion departure risk correlated with adoption drop), and generates specific talking points, email drafts, and meeting agendas—not just blank sections to fill.

Can I use this for non-SaaS customer success?

Yes—while optimized for SaaS, simply adapt the ADOPTION_METRICS variable to reflect your product/service engagement model (e.g., project milestones, service utilization, outcome achievement). The strategic framework applies universally.

How often should I run this prompt per account?

Strategic accounts: Quarterly full version, monthly lightweight version (sections 1-5 only). Mid-market: Bi-annually or at health score changes. At-risk accounts: Weekly until stabilized, using Risk Mitigation section only.

The output is too long for my use case—how do I shorten it?

Add this instruction at the end of promptContent: 'PRIORITY: Deliver only sections 1 (Executive Summary), 3 (Stakeholder Map), 7 (Risk Mitigation), and 10 (90-Day Action Plan). Condense all other sections to 2-3 bullet points each.'
