Skill
Work on renewing your client for contract #2 immediately after the ink dries on the first one.
Don't take it for granted your customer will re-up without you working hard and smart for the second deal.
Closely observe how your client engages with your team and how they use your product; the insights you glean will give you a strategic selling advantage.
Still, you'll need to apply all of those core skills you possess, like value prop differentiation and objection handling.

Plot your renewal strategy by building a playbook of questions that will reveal the insights you need to propose a compelling contract #2:
1. "What did you like most about our offering during this contract term?" And of course, "What didn't meet your expectations?"
2. "How would you quantify the value you're getting from our offering/partnership?"
3. "How was our service?"
5. "Who would you use if you didn't renew with us?"
Certainly, you can add much more to this list…do it today so you're ready when the renewal date arrives.
