180 days of improved net revenue retention across the board
Since our first engagement we have helped B2B SaaS teams reduce churn by an average of 18 percentage points while building renewal infrastructure that scales without adding headcount.
The churn deep-dive alone surfaced three renewal risks we had completely missed. Within two quarters our logo retention went from 84% to 93%.

We were a six-person commercial team trying to manage 1,200 enterprise renewals. NRR Labs built the architecture in eight weeks. We haven't lost a single account since.

Get the answers you need
Quick answers to common questions about fractional retention.
How is fractional retention different from hiring a VP of customer success?
You get executive-level renewal architecture and execution without a full-time salary or benefits. One fractional engagement, zero overhead. We handle the deep-dive, the strategy, and the execution.
What does a typical churn mitigation deep-dive include?
A full audit of your renewal process, contract data, and customer health signals. We identify the highest-risk accounts, surface the real reasons they churn, and deliver a playbook to close the gaps.
How long does a fractional engagement typically last?
Most engagements run 3 to 6 months, depending on the scope. We start with a churn deep-dive, then build the renewal architecture your team can sustain. No long-term contracts required.
What is a Customer Advisory Board and do I need one?
A structured forum where your best customers provide feedback that drives retention. We design, launch, and moderate the board so you get real signals on product, pricing, and support — without another meeting.
Do you work with early-stage B2B SaaS companies?
We work best with companies that have enterprise recurring revenue to protect — typically $2M+ ARR. If you have a base worth defending and want to avoid adding headcount, we should talk.
