When you first onboard them, layout how you wish to handle these follow-up sessions, is it going to be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly? These calls aren't necessarily for you to upsell a new product or introduce a premium. Be careful not to overdo the followups.

Try to focus on your customer's journey, their interactions with your platform, the blockers or questions they might have, and of course, the overall value they are getting.
