RAE_06Revenue Acceleration Engine™ 10–14 weeks build; continuous operation

Customer Success & NRR Engine

Onboarding, adoption, expansion and renewal motions engineered for >120% Net Revenue Retention.

Why it matters

Top-quartile SaaS companies derive 70%+ of growth from existing customers. NRR >120% creates a compounding engine; <100% requires constant new-logo treadmill. CS is no longer a cost centre — it's the highest-ROI revenue lever.

How we run it

Our methodology

A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team, not handed over as a deck.

1
NRR & cohort diagnostic
Week 1–2
Decompose NRR into gross retention + expansion + downsell; cohort by segment, plan, tenure and CSM.
2
Coverage & segmentation model
Week 2–4
Design tiered CS coverage (high-touch / tech-touch / pooled) with CSM ratios and account-load math.
3
Health-score & playbooks
Week 4–8
Build multi-signal health score and the playbook library (onboarding, QBR, expansion, save, renewal).
4
Expansion engine
Week 8–11
Stand up the expansion engine — usage triggers, CSM-led plays, marketing-assisted upsell — with attribution.
5
Renewal forecasting & cadence
Week 11–14
Lock 90-day renewal forecasting, monthly retention review and quarterly business review with leadership.
