How This Automation Works
Contract Expiration Date Approaching → Automated Renewal Reminder Sent
Monitor Contract Expiration Dates
The system continuously tracks all active service agreements and identifies contracts approaching their expiration dates. When a contract reaches the 90-day threshold, it automatically enters the renewal workflow and creates a customer record for the renewal campaign.
Generate Personalized Renewal Proposal
Based on the customer's service history, property details, and current pricing rules, the system automatically creates a customized renewal proposal. This includes service summary, updated pricing, available add-ons, and any applicable loyalty discounts or early renewal incentives.
Send Multi-Channel Renewal Notifications
The system delivers the initial renewal notice via the customer's preferred communication channel (email, SMS, or both), including the personalized proposal and a direct link to accept renewal terms. All communications are logged in the customer record for complete visibility.
Execute Automated Follow-Up Sequence
If the customer doesn't respond within the specified timeframe, the system automatically sends follow-up reminders at 60-day, 30-day, and 7-day intervals. Each message is tailored based on previous engagement and may include different incentives or urgency messaging.
Process Renewal or Escalate
When a customer accepts the renewal, the system automatically processes the contract extension, schedules first service appointment, initiates payment collection if applicable, and sends confirmation. Non-responsive high-value accounts are automatically escalated to sales team members with complete interaction history.
Update Records and Reporting
All renewal outcomes (accepted, declined, pending) are recorded in the customer database, renewal metrics are updated in real-time dashboards, and revenue forecasts are adjusted automatically. The system identifies trends and provides insights for improving future renewal campaigns.
How It Works
Annual plan renewals are critical revenue events for pest control businesses, yet manually tracking hundreds of contract expiration dates and coordinating renewal communications often leads to missed opportunities and lost customers. This automated renewal system monitors all service agreements, triggers personalized renewal notifications at optimal times, and streamlines the entire renewal process from initial reminder to contract signature. The system intelligently segments customers based on service history and contract value, automatically generates renewal proposals with updated pricing, and coordinates follow-up communications to maximize conversion rates. By eliminating manual tracking and ensuring no renewal opportunity slips through the cracks, pest control companies can significantly increase retention rates while reducing administrative workload. The automation handles everything from initial 90-day advance notices through final renewal confirmation, creating a seamless experience that encourages customers to continue their protection plans year after year.
The Trigger
The system continuously monitors all active service agreements and automatically triggers the renewal sequence when a contract reaches a specified threshold before expiration (typically 90, 60, or 30 days out). This ensures timely outreach while giving customers adequate time to make renewal decisions.
The Action
When triggered, the system automatically sends personalized renewal notifications via email and SMS, generates updated service proposals with current pricing, logs all communications in the customer record, and creates follow-up tasks for the sales team. The system continues automated follow-ups until the customer either renews, declines, or requires personal attention.
