Lesson transcript

Hey there, I’m Trav from Neighbourhood! We’re a Diamond HubSpot Solutions Partner located in sunny Brisbane, Australia. Today, I’m going to be talking you through one of the most essential facets of customer retention – your renewal process. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Identify the best approach for your renewal process
  • Define key pipeline stages for your renewal process
  • Understand the benefits of automating your renewal process
  • Figure out when and when not to apply automation, and finally;
  • Create, design, and implement an automated renewal process with tailored reporting for optimisation

So, let’s get into it!

First, let’s talk about why having a renewal process is so important. Maintaining customer loyalty, increasing retention, and reducing churn is vital for any business - there’s no argument there. But how does having a documented renewal process help with this?

Well, think of your business as a garden. Your customers are the plants, and the renewal process is the consistent watering and care they need to thrive. Renewal processes ensure that your customers continue to see value in your services. “It’s a structured approach to remind customers why they chose you in the first place and why they should continue their journey with you.”

Now, you will need to consider a couple of common challenges when building your renewal process so keep these in mind throughout the rest of the lesson.



We often find people struggling to really see the benefits of a renewal process if they forget to engage with their customers, their industry has an ever-growing competitive landscape or if the timing of

contracts is quite complex. These challenges are like weeds that threaten to overtake your garden, but with a bit of automation - you can make a difference.

Automation acts as your gardening tool, streamlining these processes, ensuring timely engagement, and reducing manual errors. It helps you keep the garden neat and flourishing, ensuring each plant receives the care it needs.

So, with that said - let’s recap:

  • A renewal process is essential for maintaining customer loyalty, increasing retention, and reducing churn.
  • Common challenges include lack of engagement, competition, and contract complexities.
  • Automation helps streamline and optimise the renewal process.

In the next video, we'll explore how you should approach your renewal strategy. Stay tuned!
