Why teams use this template
Structured CSM-to-CSM transition: outgoing CSM packages the account dossier, joint call introduces the new owner, customer is notified, and the receiving CSM closes the loop with an independent check-in and a 30-day follow-up. When this work runs through inboxes and ad-hoc spreadsheets, ownership gets fuzzy and evidence gets lost. Customer Success Account Handoff gives you a 6-step process with 2 checkpoints so nothing slips between handoffs.
Built for teams led by Outgoing CSM and Receiving CSM: every task has a named owner, every approval routes to a real role, and the run history is the audit trail your auditors actually want.
The checkpoint tasks ("Handoff intake & customer segment" and "Receiving CSM, handoff readiness") cannot be skipped, they're where the run produces evidence the next stage depends on. You start with structure instead of building it from scratch every time.
