Spending every renewal cycle chasing internal stakeholders for client status updates, rebuilding the same risk assessment spreadsheet, and guessing which accounts might churn
The situation this course is for
Every quarter, you rebuild the same client health view from scratch , pulling delivery metrics from one team, invoicing status from another, support tickets from a third. The spreadsheet breaks when stakeholders don’t update their tabs. Leadership asks for 'early warnings' but you’re getting the data too late. You know a client is at risk only when the renewal notice lands , then you scramble. The process is reactive, inconsistent, and consumes weeks of coordination that should take hours.
Who this is for
Mid-senior Account Managers in enterprise services who own renewal outcomes but lack automated, cross-functional client health signals
Who this is not for
Sales reps focused on new logo acquisition, customer support leads, or teams using full-scale CRM AI platforms with dedicated data engineers
What you walk away with
- Build a repeatable client health scoring model using existing data sources
- Automate weekly updates from delivery, support, and finance without manual follow-ups
- Predict renewal risk 8+ weeks ahead with 85%+ accuracy
- Align internal teams around a shared client health dashboard
- Replace ad-hoc renewal prep with a standardized playbook used across cycles

If nothing changes
