Renewal Discussion

Renewal Discussion & Subscription Review

Renewals shouldn’t feel rushed, reactive, or transactional.

This Renewal Discussion & Subscription Review Template + Guide helps Customer Success Managers lead clear, value-based renewal conversations that reinforce impact, surface risk early, and align both sides on the path forward—well before the contract is up.

Instead of treating renewals as a last-minute event, this asset supports a thoughtful, structured conversation that feels like a natural continuation of the partnership.

What’s Included

Renewal Discussion Deck Template
A customer-facing slide deck designed to help CSMs:

• Set expectations and align on the purpose of the renewal conversation

• Re-anchor the partnership around goals and outcomes

• Review value delivered and progress made

• Discuss adoption and engagement with context

• Walk through subscription scope and terms

• Assess renewal confidence directly

• Align on next steps, ownership, and timelines

Step-by-Step PDF Guide
A practical companion guide that explains:

• When and how to introduce the renewal conversation

• How to prepare internally for a strong renewal discussion

• How to lead the conversation (not just present slides)

• What questions to ask to uncover risk or hesitation

• Common renewal mistakes to avoid

• What a successful renewal discussion actually looks like

The guide helps CSMs feel prepared, confident, and in control—without sounding salesy or scripted.

What This Helps You Do

• Move renewal conversations earlier in the lifecycle

• Reinforce value and outcomes before discussing terms

• Increase renewal confidence and predictability

Who This Is For

• Customer Success Managers and Account Managers

Why This Works

Most renewals go sideways because the conversation starts too late or focuses on price instead of value.
