Quarterly check-in email template
A quarterly rhythm keeps the relationship proactive instead of reactive. Lead with what the customer got, not what you want.
Use the check-in to align on the next quarter's goals.
Short answer
A quarterly check-in should summarize the value delivered, surface the customer's next goals, and propose a short review. Done well it drives expansion and heads off churn. Below are templates for a results-forward check-in, a QBR scheduling request, and a goal-alignment note.
Key takeaways
- Lead with results delivered, then propose the review.
- Use the check-in to align on the customer's next-quarter goals.
- Bring usage and ideas to a QBR; do not make it a status meeting.
- A steady quarterly rhythm surfaces expansion and heads off churn early.
Results-forward and QBR request
Show value, then propose the review.
- Results: "Hi {First}, quick quarter recap: your team {result 1} and {result 2}, up {number}% from last quarter. I would love 30 minutes to review it and plan the next one. Does {time} or {time} work?"
- QBR: "Hi {First}, time for our quarterly review. I will bring your usage, results, and a couple of ideas to get more value next quarter. Who else on your side should join?"
Goal-alignment note
Reset priorities for the quarter ahead.
- Subject: your goals for {quarter}
- Hi {First}, as we head into {quarter}, I want to make sure {product} is pointed at what matters most to you. What are your top one or two goals this quarter? I will tailor our plan and check-ins around them.

Frequently asked questions
What should a quarterly check-in email cover?
The value delivered last quarter, the customer's goals for the next one, and a proposal to meet. Leading with results earns the meeting; making it about their goals earns the expansion.
How do I run a good QBR?
Bring the customer's usage, results against their goals, and one or two concrete ideas to get more value. A QBR that is a status readout wastes their time; one that plans the next quarter drives renewal and growth.
How often should I formally review an account?
Quarterly for most meaningful accounts, more often for large or strategic ones. A consistent cadence keeps you proactive, surfaces expansion signals, and catches churn risk while there is still time to act.
