Why each option

For an underutilized solution nearing renewal, the Customer Success Manager must proactively engage the customer to understand the specific reasons for non-enablement and identify adoption barriers. This direct engagement is crucial for developing a targeted action plan to drive usage and demonstrate value before renewal.

AEngage the customer on why the solution has not been enabled, determine adoption barriers, andCorrect

Engaging the customer directly to understand the "why" behind non-enablement allows the CSM to identify specific adoption barriers (e.g., lack of knowledge, technical issues, unmet expectations) and then formulate a tailored strategy to overcome these challenges, thereby increasing the likelihood of renewal and usage.

BCreate training materials on the solution that is not enabled to educate the customer.

Creating training materials without first understanding the specific reason for non-enablement might not address the root cause and could be an inefficient use of resources.

COffer upgraded licenses to entice the customer to engage the solution that is not enabled.

Offering upgraded licenses for a solution that isn't even enabled is unlikely to incentivize engagement and might even be perceived negatively if the basic value proposition isn't understood or realized.

DAsk the renewals manager why the solution has not been fully enabled.

While collaborating with internal teams is important, the CSM's primary responsibility is direct customer engagement to understand their specific challenges and drive adoption, not to simply ask another internal manager.
