Try the Upcoming Renewals play. Don’t let customers with upcoming renewals slip past you. Select a time from the renewal date relevant to your business, usually around 90 days. Now, when a company that isn’t already in renewal discussions comes within this time, enroll them in a campaign to start the renewal conversation. Ask about their experience, what they like, and what’s lacking. It’s best to create multiple tracks of this same play—differentiated based on product or engagement metrics. --- **🏷Features)** Copilot, ABM Audiences --- **🏷️ZoomInfo Data Types)** Contact Data, Company Data --- **📁 Sales Stage** Post-Sales --- **🚦 Difficulty** 🟦 - Intermediate --- **🧪Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)** ## 1.
