The AI Checklist for Every Account Review

Too many Account Reviews still run on gut feel and scattered notes. You leave the meeting thinking it went fine—only to realize weeks later you missed a risk signal, an upsell window, or a key shift in the client’s priorities.
AI won’t run the meeting for you, but it can sharpen your prep, expand your insight, and help you show up with more clarity than anyone else in the room. The key is knowing exactly where it fits into your process—and where it doesn’t. That’s where this checklist comes in.
1. Run an AI-Driven Risk Scan
Before the review, feed recent client communications, CRM updates, and support tickets into your AI tool. Look for patterns—drops in engagement, repeated mentions of pain points, or changes in sentiment.
Why it matters: You’ll walk into the meeting already knowing where tension might surface. That’s a far better position than reacting to it mid-call.
2. Summarize the Client’s “Quarter in Review”
Instead of manually piecing together updates from multiple systems, use AI to create a concise, data-backed summary of the client’s last quarter: key wins, missed targets, support activity, and usage trends.
Pro tip: Keep it factual and neutral. AI summaries save time, but you still need to interpret the meaning and connect it to the client’s goals.
3. Spot Expansion Clues in the Data
Run the client’s data through AI to identify product features they’re underusing, or patterns that match accounts that have expanded in the past.
Example: AI flags that similar clients who added X module saw a 20% performance boost. You now have a concrete, relevant upsell angle.
4. Build Smarter Questions
Let AI suggest targeted questions based on the client’s recent behavior, industry trends, and internal notes. This ensures you’re not just asking “How’s it going?”—you’re asking questions that prompt strategic conversation.
Why it matters: Good questions drive the meeting forward. Generic ones stall it.
5. Create a Post-Review Action Map
After the meeting, run your notes and the transcript (if you record calls) through AI to generate a clean list of action items—categorized by urgency, owner, and follow-up date.
Bonus: Share this with the client. It shows accountability and makes next steps crystal clear.
AI is your analyst, not your replacement. It will surface patterns, prep your questions, and flag opportunities—but you’re the one who reads the room, adapts to nuance, and earns the client’s trust.
When you use AI to handle the repetitive and analytical work, you free up mental space to do what AMs do best: lead the conversation, uncover strategic opportunities, and strengthen the relationship.
