Summary

Expands the engaging unengaged customers handbook page with four new outreach tactics drawn from recent team Slack discussions, and pulls cross-cutting patterns into a new Meta-tactics section.

New tactics added:

  • Steady drumbeat of usage-specific tips (for customers who rarely reply)
  • 1:1 individualized outreach to revive a dead customer channel
  • Post-event outbound to long-silent customers
  • Competitor pricing change / market news as a value-based reason

Reordering: Tactics are now ordered by likelihood of the trigger occurring — always-applicable ones first (SDK Doctor, spotting product interest), rare external-event ones last (competitor news). A CSM reading top-to-bottom hits the easy wins first.

New Meta-tactics section: Cross-cutting patterns ("lead with their data", "tag specific people", "mix value types", "low-pressure framing", "strike while energy is high") moved into a dedicated section rather than being repeated per tactic.

Per-tactic additions: suggested cadence, suggested wording, and a Slack source link for each new tactic.

Customer info stripped from all suggested wording and examples — only team members are named (as light credit attribution).

Test plan

  • Render page locally and confirm structure reads well top-to-bottom
  • Verify all internal links resolve (merch store handbook page, intra-page meta-tactics anchor)
  • Spot-check Slack source links from a posthog.slack.com session
  • Confirm no customer names, revenue figures, or customer-side @-handles remain

… handbook

Adds four new outreach tactics drawn from recent team Slack discussions:

- Steady drumbeat of usage-specific tips for non-replying customers
- 1:1 individualized outreach to revive dead customer channels
- Post-event outbound to long-silent customers
- Competitor pricing changes / market news as a value-based reason

Reorders the tactics section by likelihood of trigger occurring, so a CSM reading top-to-bottom hits the always-applicable ones first and the rare external-event ones last.

Extracts cross-cutting patterns ("lead with their data", "tag specific people", "mix value types", "low-pressure framing", "strike while energy is high") into a new Meta-tactics section instead of repeating them per tactic.

Each tactic now includes a suggested cadence, suggested wording, and a link to the originating Slack discussion. Customer names, revenue figures, and customer-side handles are stripped.
