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.
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.
