What Is the Best Way to Track Contract Renewals With Advisory Clients?
A dependable way to track contract renewals with advisory clients is to register each contract with start date, term, fees and renewal conditions, review a list of contracts approaching renewal and schedule a review meeting with each client before the date.
In Jestor, contracts are linked to clients, hours and satisfaction scores, so renewals are prepared with data.
Why do renewals become problems?
Advisory contracts often renew automatically without review. Fees stay the same while the work grows.
Sometimes clients cancel at renewal because nobody discussed the value delivered.
The firm loses the chance to adjust scope and fees.
What problems does renewal tracking solve?
- Contracts renewed without review
- Fees not adjusted to scope
- Cancellations without warning
- No data for renewal conversations
- Signed contracts hard to find
