🔁 From Chaos to Clarity: How to Build a Kickass Renewals Sales Process with Actionboard.ai

Why Renewals Matter More Than Ever

In the age of subscription-based business models, many SaaS companies are obsessed with new logo acquisition. But here’s the truth bomb: Renewals are the real MVP when it comes to sustainable growth. Research shows that:

• A 5% increase in customer retention can increase profits by 25% to 95%

• It costs 5x more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one

• Yet less than 30% of SaaS companies have a structured renewals forecasting process

This is a massive blind spot—and where Actionboard.ai steps in to transform chaos into clarity.

The Hidden Cost of Missed Renewals

Every renewal that slips through the cracks doesn’t just affect this quarter—it impacts the entire organization. Here's what poor renewals forecasting leads to:

• 📉 Unpredictable cash flow = blocked investments

• 📊 Inaccurate revenue forecasts = shaken investor confidence

• 🔁 Pressure on new sales = unsustainable hustle culture

• 🛑 Churn = missed upsell, cross-sell, and lifetime value

With churn eating into your recurring revenue, your growth becomes volatile. You can’t scale what you can’t see.
