Churn is not a renewal event.
It's a slow failure you can see early.

If your signals are late or contradictory, Net Revenue Retention becomes the risk story in the boardroom.

Your churn problem is not loud. It's quiet. Usage fades, expansions stall, renewals surprise you late. Most teams are working hard—but they're working blind.

Prefer a leadership-level working session?

Why Churn Is Accelerating Now

AI and new buying behaviors are reshaping how customers consume software long before renewal dates show up in your forecast. Seat-based growth is under pressure. Usage no longer maps cleanly to value. Boards and investors are now reading NRR as a proxy for the health of your entire go-to-market system—not just Customer Success.

But most leadership teams are flying partially blind:

  • Signals are fragmented across CRM, CS tools, product telemetry, billing, and support.
  • Health scores are subjective and inconsistent.
  • Save motions start late and loud—after the damage is already done.

Churn has moved from an operational metric to a strategic risk.

Churn Signal Audit

The Churn Signal Audit is a fast, executive-level diagnostic that answers a simple question:

Do you see churn forming 90 days early—or 30 days too late?

In 10–15 minutes, we'll help you assess whether your organization has:

  • Early, trusted churn signals leaders can act on, or
  • Fragmented, lagging indicators that force reactive save motions.

You'll walk away with a clear view of your signal gaps and where to focus first.

Churn & NRR Research Hub

Beneath every churn story is a pattern. SBI's research library brings those patterns into focus—across product usage, pricing, GTM execution, and Growth Intelligence.

How SBI Helps

SBI Growth Advisory works with leadership teams to treat churn as what it has become: a board-level, valuation-level threat that demands a system-level response.

We help you:

  • Surface churn risk earlier and more clearly.
  • Identify true drivers of churn and contraction.
  • Design and orchestrate role-specific actions across Sales, CS, RevOps, Finance, Product, and Pricing.
  • Improve renewal predictability and expansion outcomes.

SBI Wayforge™ Churn supports this work as the Growth Intelligence engine behind the scenes, but the engagement starts with advisory leadership—not a product pitch.
