Don't even ask why I keep making frameworks but I sure do love it. Actually, I know why I do. I'm a visual, list type of guy.

Over the holidays I crafted this because I'm applying for a CSM role where they want to focus more on proactive approaches and I thought that if they do hire me (fingers crossed) then I would have a good start on day 1  :)

This goes through the "typical" customer lifecyle and identifies proactive activities that could be implemented. It's definitely not linear as it would appear, but, I wanted to try and capture to the best of my knowledge how to be more proactive.

I'd love to know how others are approaching being proactive!

    You are more than welcome Tejash. It's a topic I'm really passionate about because of the huge impact it can have on the customer, and your own team. I am sure that this can be improved even more but I tried to at least take a start at putting it into a visual form! @tejash_24
