How do I prove usage and ROI so accounts renew and expand?
Renewals go smoothly when the buyer can show their boss what the app changed.
- Buyers ask what they're getting.
- How do we measure ROI?
- When do we start the renewal talk?
Record a baseline before rollout, such as time per task, errors or paperwork. Send regular reports on usage and outcomes compared to that baseline, by team. Hold a review 60 to 90 days before renewal with the results, open issues and an expansion proposal. Track net revenue retention.
What to report
- Active users by team.
- Tasks completed.
- Time saved versus baseline.
- Issues fixed.
- Next teams or features.
