HEALTH 
60 42 
HEALTH ACTIVITY 
All power users are in good health. 
All key contacts are in good health. 
Only 7 of 11 seats are highly active. 
Poor background signals are hurting 
account health. 
Overall seat health is normal. 
Health is good but activity 
is relatively low 
50+ is a good Health 
Score. 33 and below is a 
low activity score. 
Tip

delivers the 
executive summary.

time because it 
should trigger a 
number of 
conversations.

While NPS is not 
predictive of churn, 
it is a great tool to
