How to discuss low adoption before a renewal

Your customer questions renewing because too few people are using the product.

What they might say

  • “Only a few people log in.”
  • “The team still uses the old process.”
  • “It's hard to justify paying for unused seats.”

What's usually behind it

Low use may come from unclear ownership, a difficult workflow, or a need that has changed. More training will not necessarily fix the problem, so start by understanding where use breaks down.

What you can say

  • That's a fair concern going into renewal.
  • What's getting in the way of the team using it?
  • Let's choose one change to test before the renewal.

Try not to

  • Blaming the team for not using it.
  • Promising training will solve everything.
