## Prompt

```text
I'm taking over an existing customer account. Help me introduce myself and make the transition smooth.

**Account background:** [PRODUCT, TENURE AS A CUSTOMER, CONTRACT VALUE, RENEWAL DATE]
**Previous account manager and why they're moving:** [e.g. "promoted", "left the company", "territory change"]
**What I know from the handover:** [OPEN ISSUES, GOALS, RELATIONSHIP NOTES]
**Main contacts:** [NAMES/ROLES]
**Account health:** [healthy / some issues / at risk - and why]

Write:
1. An introduction email to the main contact: who I am, what stays the same, that I've reviewed their history (mention one specific detail), and an invitation to a 30-minute call. Under 150 words. Give 2 subject line options.
2. A shorter version if the previous manager is sending a joint intro.
3. An agenda for the first call, including 6-8 questions to understand their goals, frustrations, and what they valued (or didn't) about past service.
4. A 30-day takeover checklist: what to review, who to meet, and quick wins to show reliability.
5. What NOT to do early on (e.g. pitch an upsell, change processes without asking, criticize the previous manager).

If the account is at risk, adjust the tone to acknowledge open issues directly and offer a concrete next step.
```
