The Leave-It-Alone Playbook 2026

When the weekly check finds a gap worth a conversation, this play looks for a reason to wait first – a fresh purchase or renewal, a budget or org change, an open blocker, a departed champion. If the records show one, the reason goes on the CRM record with a date to look again, so the conversation happens when it can land.

Pricing Migration Without the Churn Spike 2026

New pricing is a chance to put every customer on the plan that fits how they already work. This play sorts each account by its usage against the new packaging and your successful customers, then runs the move on the CRM record: a wave notice, an upgrade case, a call first – or no move until renewal, with the reason noted.

The NPS Autopsy Playbook 2026

Ask when an account crosses a line against the benchmark, not on a calendar: users well past it get the advocacy question, accounts where a gap is opening get a friction question, new accounts that reached their first goal get a value check. Each answer is read against usage, and the pairing puts a move on the CRM record – or no move, with the reason noted.

Docs Intent Signals Playbook 2026

A team reading your API reference is telling you what it wants to build. This play turns docs reads from identified accounts into evidence the weekly check reads beside usage against your benchmark, and puts the move on the account in your CRM: an expansion note for the AE, a help offer for the job they're reading about – or no move, with the reason noted.

Community-Led Retention Loop Playbook 2026

Your advocates are already in your data: the accounts and people using the product well past what your successful customers do. This play takes them from the weekly check, looks for a reason to wait, and puts one ask on the account in your CRM: a community invite your team chose to automate, a CSM's personal ask – or no move, with the reason noted.
