Retention
Retention — Save-the-Account Playbook
TODO — the rapid-response playbook when an active client starts signaling unhappiness. Speed and ownership are the variables that move retention; this codifies both.
Who owns it
Section titled “Who owns it”TODO — Sales Director, with Account Manager and Director of Delivery on the call.
- TODO — within 24 hours of the signal, schedule the save call (founder or Sales Director, not the assigned Account Manager). Goal of the call is to listen, not to defend.
- TODO — within 72 hours, written rescue plan: what changes, who owns each change, when each change ships. Single page, signed by both sides.
- TODO — 30 days later, review meeting against the rescue plan. Either renew confidence or close the engagement gracefully — do not drag a dead account.
Definition of done
Section titled “Definition of done”TODO — at-risk accounts logged within 24 hours of signal, save rate above 60%, dead accounts closed within 60 days rather than dragged.
