The Full Story
Results Snapshot:
A global revenue lifecycle management platform needed a more reliable way to manage renewals across their finance, customer success, provisioning, and technical support teams.
Late renewal bookings created forecasting uncertainty, invoicing delays, potential compliance issues with Master Service Agreements, and last-minute customer friction.
To address these challenges, the company partnered with SupportNinja to establish a more proactive, coordinated renewal process.
Building a Proactive Renewal Process
SupportNinja helped the client build an approach that provided earlier visibility into account health, renewal timing, and growth opportunities.
Our approach included:
- Renewal Booking Targets — We established a target to book renewals 25–30 days before their due date, creating a more consistent, proactive renewal process.
- Renewal Health Dashboard — A live Salesforce dashboard improved visibility into account status and renewal timing, strengthening forecasting accuracy while helping leaders identify successful renewal practices and coach others to adopt them.
- Early Account Monitoring — Renewal Success Managers began tracking accounts as early as 210 days before renewal and conducted business reviews to surface risks sooner.
- Structured Renewal Outreach — Automated renewal reminders at 175, 75, and 60 days created a consistent cadence, with quotes delivered during the 75-to-60-day window.
- Usage and Subscription Reviews — Starting 120 days before renewal, SupportNinja reviewed product usage against subscription terms to identify churn risk, underutilization, and expansion opportunities.
The new process created more time to act on account insights. By identifying potential issues and opportunities earlier, SupportNinja helped the client address product-adoption gaps, support issues, stakeholder questions, and commercial opportunities well before renewal deadlines.
Driving Renewal Growth With Better CX
The revamped renewal model tied operational discipline to CX, driving results like:
Creating a More Confident Path to Renewal
Reactive renewal processes can create uncertainty for both internal teams and customers alike. A more proactive model gives teams earlier visibility into risk while giving customers the time and support to make informed decisions before their renewal date.
For this client, earlier account reviews and a structured cadence made renewal conversations more productive, reducing friction.
