Retention advisor

Deliver: Confirm the one or two outcomes this account measures you on, then report against them in every check-in.

First check-in: Set a check-in cadence and book the first one now. The first 90 days decide whether an account renews.

Grow it: Expansion is easier than acquisition. Once you are delivering, ask what else they struggle to source and whether a second product or larger volume helps.

Watch for churn: Watch the early warning signs: slower replies, skipped orders, a new person in procurement. Address them the week you notice, not at renewal.
