Lifecycle people! What other lifecycle moments can you think of? • Post contract signing • Onboarding kick off • Onboarding checkins • Certification completions • Onboarding closed - a lot of saas companies ask for reviews here. • Additional certification completions • Lack of adoption red flag • Acceptable adoption landmark • New feature adoption • Customer joined a customer program (community, user groups, CABs, product beta group) • Customer submitted content to blog or webinar • Customer marked at a high CSAT or NPS (not to be used to trigger a review due to recent 2022 legislation) • Customer enters upsell opportunity (product, features, services) • Customer completes upsell successfully • Customer doesn’t finish upsell • Customer renews contract

You have certifications, but does that include education & training?

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) August 28, 2023 at 07:21 PM

I suppose it could go either way, huh?

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) August 28, 2023 at 07:22 PM

I’ll add the education/training separately because that could be done specifically in the onboarding phase.

Laurie Timms August 28, 2023 at 07:22 PM

Makes sense.

A few more off the top of my head:
New user joining an existing customer account
Admin/Account ownership change
Approaching renewal
Recently renewed

Ah yes, such as a new team member.

Lauren Stefano August 28, 2023 at 07:35 PM

Yes, exactly

Alexie Glover August 28, 2023 at 07:45 PM

Hand raised to be an advocate is also one a lot of people track—can be anything from sales references to content development.

Alexie Glover August 28, 2023 at 07:45 PM

But that landmark also depends on your MSA language!

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) August 28, 2023 at 07:51 PM

Great points @Alexie Glover, thank you.

August 28, 2023 at 08:10 PM

Halfway point in the contract/QBR

Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly) August 28, 2023 at 08:10 PM

Oooh yes!
