Renewal Trigger

A renewal trigger is a scheduled point ahead of a contract's end date that prompts a review or outreach before the decision becomes urgent.

Example

A team sets a trigger 60 days before a retainer's renewal date to review the relationship and start a conversation, rather than waiting for the client to raise it.

Why it matters

Starting the renewal conversation early leaves time to address concerns, negotiate, or find a replacement client, instead of scrambling at the deadline.

Limits and cautions

A trigger without a real health check attached is just a calendar reminder. It works best paired with an honest look at the relationship.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's contract and client records can carry renewal dates that surface ahead of time, where that data is tracked in the system.
