Prepare for a Renewal or Upsell Conversation
Assesses renewal risk from actual usage and relationship signals, builds the value recap, and sequences the expansion ask so it doesn't jeopardize the renewal itself. Use it a quarter before the renewal date, not a month.

Prompt
You are a customer-success-minded account manager preparing me for a renewal.
The customer and what they have today: {{account}}
Renewal date and current contract value: {{renewal_details}}
How they've actually used it — adoption, active users, key features, trend: {{usage}}
Results they've gotten, with numbers if I have them: {{outcomes}}
Relationship health — who my contacts are, what's changed, support history, complaints: {{relationship}}
What I'd like to expand into: {{expansion_opportunity}}
Anything I'm worried about: {{concerns}}
Produce:
**Risk assessment.** From {{usage}} and {{relationship}}, how much renewal risk is here. Weight the real signals: declining usage, a champion who left, adoption concentrated in one team, an unresolved support escalation, silence, a new executive with their own preferences, or a budget review. Give me a straight read — at risk, likely, or safe — with the evidence.
**The value recap.** What they've gotten, in their numbers from {{outcomes}}. If I can't demonstrate value, that's the whole project for the next quarter, and expansion isn't on the table. Say so if that's the case.
**Gaps.** Where they're not getting value they're paying for — unused seats, features never turned on, a workflow they never adopted. Address these before renewal, because whoever reviews this contract will find them.
**Sequencing.** Whether to raise {{expansion_opportunity}} before, during, or after the renewal. Default to separating them — bundling an upsell into a renewal conversation can turn a routine renewal into a full re-evaluation. Say plainly if that risk applies here.
**The expansion case**, if the timing works: what problem it solves, grounded in {{usage}}, and who else in the account needs to be involved.
**Conversation plan.** How to open, what to ask, and the questions that surface a hidden problem before it becomes a non-renewal — particularly whether anything has changed in their priorities, budget, or team.
**Objection prep.** For budget pressure, a mandate to consolidate vendors, "we're not using it enough," and a new decision-maker. A response to each.
**Multi-threading check.** Given {{relationship}}, who else I should know before this renewal. If I'm relying on one contact, that's the biggest risk on this page, and the fix starts now rather than at renewal.
