A dedicated pipeline for managing customer renewals, upsells, and expansions. Includes 6 stages from Renewal Due → Health Check → Negotiation → Renewal Closed, with built-in churn risk scoring, usage-based expansion signals, and automated CSM alerts 90/60/30 days before renewal. The pipeline enters every active contract automatically at the 90-day mark, so no renewal depends on a CSM remembering a date. The Health Check stage is the heart of the template: it scores each account on usage trend, support ticket volume, and NPS, then routes green accounts toward the Expansion Review stage and red accounts into a save play with an executive-sponsor task. Renewal forecasting works the same way as new-business forecasting — stage-weighted amounts roll into a net-retention dashboard — which finally gives finance a renewals number built on process rather than a CSM's gut feel.

The Problem This Solves

Renewals are managed in spreadsheets or ad-hoc. Without a structured pipeline, teams miss renewal dates, fail to identify expansion opportunities, and react to churn instead of preventing it.

Who It's For

Customer success managers, renewal managers, and account managers at subscription-based businesses.

Use Cases

  • Track all upcoming renewals with automated reminders
  • Score renewal risk based on usage, support tickets, and NPS
  • Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities before the renewal conversation
