Renewals and Customer Success Management

Your customer renewal rate is a clear sign of your enterprise's health. It can tell you a great deal about how sticky your products and services are. And because renewals are a true indicator of customer experience, analysis of churn and upsold contracts can also reveal a wealth of information about what can improve in your products and services.

As-a-service businesses largely measure their success by the percentage of annual recurring revenue (ARR), and this is greatly determined by the effectiveness of their renewal strategies. Achieving that success means understanding the weaknesses causing churn. Leakages occur at multiple stages of the renewals cycle. And the simple fact is this: Unless you address these issues with the right processes, technologies, and analytics, you'll never be confident that you have a sustainable pool of customers. So you won't set the stage for consistent, profitable growth.

With the best tools and procedures in place, however, you can eliminate the following factors that contribute to customer drop-off:

• Lengthy, error-prone quoting processes
• Overlooked quoting opportunities
• Neglected upsell and cross-sell prospects
• Missed chances to apply proven techniques to reduce your churn rate

Enquero, a Genpact company, has an end-to-end offering that comprehensively addresses your renewals strategy and delivers a wide range of benefits. More than just a software solution, our Renewals and Customer Success Management system identifies key moments of truth to ensure you retain every possible customer.

We put the most advanced tactics and techniques to work to holistically transform your renewals operation.
