## Handoff Framework

### Handoff Types

|------|---------|----------|-------------|
| New Customer | Deal closed-won | Within 24h | Full onboarding handoff |
| Renewal | 90 days before renewal | 90 days out | Renewal planning |
| Expansion | Upsell identified | Immediate | Sales-CS coordination |

### Handoff Checklist

| Item | Owner | Required |
|------|-------|----------|
| Contract details | Sales | ✓ |
| Success criteria | Sales | ✓ |
| Key stakeholders | Sales | ✓ |
| Technical requirements | Sales | ✓ |
| Implementation timeline | Sales | ✓ |
| Competitive context | Sales | Optional |
| Risk factors | Sales | ✓ |

## Execution Flow

### Step 1: Get Deal Information

```
crm.get_deal({
  dealId: context.dealId,
  includeContacts: true,
  includeProducts: true,
  includeNotes: true,
  includeHistory: true
})
```

```
crm.get_account({
  accountId: deal.accountId,
  includeHealthScore: true,
  includeUsage: true,
  includeContracts: true
})
```

### Step 2: Create Renewal Opportunity

```
crm.create_renewal_opportunity({
  accountId: account.id,
  amount: deal.amount,
  renewalDate: calculateRenewalDate(deal),
  products: deal.products,
  contractId: deal.contractId,
  stage: "renewal_pending",
  metadata: {
    originalDealId: deal.id,
    originalCloseDate: deal.closeDate,
    contractTerm: deal.term
  }
})
```

### Step 3: Determine CSM Assignment

```javascript
function determineOptimalCSM(account, deal, availableCSMs) {
  const scores = availableCSMs.map(csm => {
    let score = 100;
    
    // Capacity check
    const capacityUsed = csm.currentAccounts / csm.maxAccounts;
    if (capacityUsed > 0.9) score -= 40;
    else if (capacityUsed > 0.8) score -= 20;
    
    // Segment expertise
    if (csm.segments.includes(account.segment)) score += 25;
    
    // Industry expertise
    if (csm.industries.includes(account.industry)) score += 20;
    
    // Product expertise
    const productOverlap = deal.products.filter(p => csm.products.includes(p)).length;
    score += productOverlap * 10;
    
    // Timezone alignment
    if (csm.timezone === account.timezone) score += 15;
    
    // Language match
    if (csm.languages.includes(account.primaryLanguage)) score += 15;
    
    // Historical success
    score += csm.npsScore * 0.2;
    score += csm.retentionRate * 0.3;
    
    return { csm, score };
  });
  
  return scores.sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score)[0].csm;
}
```

### Step 4: Assign CSM

```
crm.assign_csm({
  accountId: account.id,
  csmId: selectedCsm.id,
  effectiveDate: deal.closeDate,
  handoffType: context.handoffType,
  priority: context.priority
})
```

### Step 5: Generate Handoff Document

```javascript
function generateHandoffDocument(deal, account) {
  return {
    overview: {
      accountName: account.name,
      dealValue: deal.amount,
      contractTerm: deal.term,
      closeDate: deal.closeDate,
      renewalDate: calculateRenewalDate(deal),
      products: deal.products
    },
    
    stakeholders: deal.contacts.map(c => ({
      name: c.name,
      title: c.title,
      role: c.role,
      email: c.email,
      notes: c.notes
    })),
    
    successCriteria: extractSuccessCriteria(deal.notes),
    
    implementation: {
      timeline: deal.implementationTimeline,
      requirements: deal.technicalRequirements,
      integrations: deal.integrations
    },
    
    context: {
      whyTheyBought: deal.winReason,
      competitorConsidered: deal.competitor,
      painPoints: deal.painPoints,
      risksIdentified: deal.risks
    },
    
    expansionOpportunity: {
      potential: account.expansionPotential,
      products: identifyUpsellProducts(account, deal),
      timing: estimateExpansionTiming(account)
    }
  };
}
```

### Step 6: Send Handoff Communication

```
messaging.send_handoff({
  from: deal.ownerId,
  to: selectedCsm.id,
  cc: [deal.ownerManagerId, selectedCsm.managerId],
  template: "new_customer_handoff",
  data: handoffDocument,
  attachments: [
    { type: "contract", id: deal.contractId },
    { type: "proposal", id: deal.proposalId }
  ],
  scheduleMeeting: {
    type: "handoff_call",
    attendees: [deal.ownerId, selectedCsm.id],
    duration: 30,
    suggestedTimes: getAvailability([deal.ownerId, selectedCsm.id])
  }
})
```

### Step 7: Schedule Touchpoints

```
crm.schedule_touchpoints({
  accountId: account.id,
  csmId: selectedCsm.id,
  touchpoints: [
    { type: "kickoff", daysFromClose: 3 },
    { type: "check_in", daysFromClose: 14 },
    { type: "health_check", daysFromClose: 30 },
    { type: "qbr", daysFromClose: 90 },
    { type: "renewal_planning", daysFromRenewal: 90 },
    { type: "renewal_call", daysFromRenewal: 60 },
    { type: "renewal_close", daysFromRenewal: 30 }
  ]
})
```

### Step 8: Assess Initial Renewal Risk

```
analytics.get_renewal_risk({
  accountId: account.id,
  factors: [
    "implementation_complexity",
    "stakeholder_turnover_risk",
    "competitive_threat",
    "contract_structure",
    "usage_prediction"
  ]
})
```
