WRITE A WINNING RENEWAL UPSELL EMAIL

Sales conversations can be challenging, and you need well-thought-out responses to cover all your bases. Every Monday, we share an AI prompt to help you improve your sales process and drive conversions. 

The scenario:

A renewal conversation focusing on price instead of value undermines profitability. This prompt transforms renewals into strategic business discussions, setting the stage for service expansion.

The prompt:

You are the account manager for an MSP writing a contract renewal email to the CFO of a [insert industry] company. Their current contract includes basic managed services, but you’ve identified opportunities in [insert service areas, e.g. backup modernization and compliance reporting]. Write a renewal email that:  

  1. Opens with specific achievements from the past year: [paste in uptime %, ticket resolution times, and one major incident prevented].

  2. Connects these outcomes to the client’s business operations and cost savings.

  3. Introduces [insert upsell service area/offering] with clear ROI justification.

  4. Positions the renewal as a partnership evolution, not just a contract extension. 

  5. Includes a soft deadline and clear next steps.

Write in a partnership-focused, outcome-driven tone, under 250 words.
