Produces a complete account plan with relationship map, growth opportunities, risks, and 90-day action plan.

Account Plan Skill

Produces a structured account plan — the document that separates account managers who grow accounts from those who just service them.

Required Inputs

  • Account name
  • Current ARR / revenue
  • Contract renewal date
  • Key contacts (names, roles, relationship strength)
  • Products/services currently in use
  • Known opportunities or expansion areas
  • Known risks
  • Planning horizon (6 / 12 / 24 months)

Output Structure


Account Plan: [Account Name]

Account Manager: [Name] | Period: [Date range]


Account Snapshot
Metric Current Target (EOY)
ARR / Revenue £[amount] £[target]
NPS / Health score [Score] [Target]
Products in use [List] [Expansion targets]
Renewal date [Date] —
Risk level Low / Medium / High —

Relationship Map
Name Title Influence Relationship Notes
[Name] [Role] Decision maker / Influencer / User Strong / Neutral / Weak [Insight]

Relationship gaps: [Who we do not have access to that we should] Executive sponsor: [Do we have one? If not — who could become one?]


Why They Stay (Retention Anchors)

[2-3 specific reasons this account renews. If the list is short, that is the risk signal.]


Growth Opportunities
Opportunity Product Est. Value Timeline Next Action
[Opportunity] [Product] £[value] [Q/Year] [Specific action]

Whitespace: What products do we have that this account does not use, and why?


Risks and Mitigation
Risk Likelihood Impact Mitigation Owner
[Risk] H/M/L H/M/L [Action] [Name]

90-Day Action Plan
Action Why Owner Due
[Specific action] [Why it matters] [Name] [Date]

Next QBR / EBR: [Date — if no EBR cadence, flag as a risk]


Success Criteria

At end of [period]:

  • Renewed at or above current ARR
  • [Expansion opportunity] progressed to [stage]
  • Health score moved from [current] to [target]

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not list only executive contacts in the relationship map — champions and day-to-day users are often more influential on renewal decisions
  • Do not set growth opportunity estimates without a basis — even rough ARR values prevent the plan from being treated seriously
  • Do not treat "no known risks" as acceptable — if no risks are identified, the plan hasn't been scrutinised honestly
  • Do not write 90-day actions as vague aspirations ("strengthen the relationship") — each action must specify a call, meeting, or deliverable with a named owner

Quality Checks

  • Relationship map identifies decision-makers, influencers, and any relationship gaps
  • Risks all have mitigation actions and named owners
  • Growth opportunities include estimated value (even roughly)
  • 90-day actions are specific (not "have a call" — what call, with whom, to achieve what)
  • Success criteria are measurable at the end of the planning period
