Churn prevention before the cancellation email arrives.
Most churn signals appear weeks early. This template turns health score drops into structured interventions, diagnosis, outreach, remediation plan, manager review, so at-risk accounts get consistent attention, not just the ones a CSM happens to notice.
For customer success teams. No credit card. First run in under a minute.

- Spreadsheet health scores updated manually.
Kept

- Internal diagnosis before customer contact.
- Manager review gate on remediation plan.
- 30-day follow-up scheduled at run start.

Why teams use this template
Churn is rarely a surprise, the signals appear weeks before the cancellation request. The problem is that at-risk accounts are identified informally, intervention steps vary by CSM, and there's no consistent record of what was tried and when.
This template standardizes the response from first warning signal to resolution, with a single approval gate to ensure the remediation plan is reviewed before it goes to the customer. Every account gets the same quality of response, regardless of who owns it.
