Overview

A renewal is won or lost long before the contract comes up. This template gives a customer success manager and the customer's sponsor one shared plan for the year: the goals in the customer's own words, the measures that prove value, dated milestones, a risk register with a save play for each risk, and a review rhythm.

The sample follows a nine-site clinic group, Brightwater Clinics, and its supplier, Elmstead Supply, six months into a $148,000 annual contract with a health score of 68 and a renewal on October 31, 2027. Replace the customer, measures, dates and owners with your own account.

Useful for

  • Kicking off a new account by agreeing what success means with the customer's sponsor
  • Preparing a mid-year review that shows value delivered, risks and the plan to renewal
  • Giving a new customer success manager a standard plan to run every account the same way

What's included

  • Customer goals page with a survey chart and two personas
  • Success measures page with headline tiles and a full scorecard of targets, trends and status
  • Milestone timeline with what happens at each gate
  • Risk register with likelihood, impact, owner and a save play for each risk
  • Reviews page with what worked, what did not and what to recommend
  • Lessons-learned page with key moments and follow-up actions

Questions

Are the companies and figures real?

No. Elmstead Supply, Brightwater Clinics, the people and every figure are fictional sample content. Replace them with your own account details.

Should I share the plan with the customer?

Yes, the goals, measures, milestones and reviews are written to be shared. Keep internal pricing and the more candid risk notes in a separate internal copy.

What health score bands does it use?

The sample treats under 50 as red, 50 to 74 as amber and 75 or more as green. Change the bands and weights to match your own scoring model.
