OutcomeEvery account that churns is queued for a win-back nurture automatically, with an owner review step in between, instead of falling off the radar the day the account is marked lost.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it as the detection and queueing layer for churned accounts: it flags the company, notifies the account owner, and hands the account's primary contact to a win-back nurture.
  • Use it when churned accounts are currently a manual list somebody remembers to build once a quarter.

Skip it

  • Do not treat this fiche as the nurture emails themselves. The actual multi-touch win-back content is a separate, contact-based marketing email nurture triggered by list membership; this fiche builds the company-side signal and queue, not the send sequence.
  • Do not use it on accounts that churned for reasons that make re-contact inappropriate (contract dispute, non-payment write-off). Exclude those explicitly.
