Practitioner-first · coaching and toolkits for senior B2B SaaS CS

Jeff Breunsbach · Friction Audit Checklist

An 8-row diagnostic checklist for senior B2B SaaS CS leaders to surface the renewal friction hiding across onboarding, adoption, and renewal - before it shows up in churn.

Renewals rarely die on the renewal call. They die earlier, in onboarding gaps, adoption plateaus, and sponsor coverage that quietly decays across the in-cycle window. This checklist walks each of those eight pressure points - one row per dimension - so you can take it into a leadership offsite and surface the actual friction, not the dashboard version.

Need more than a single artifact?

If more than a few rows of the audit leave the room silent, the friction is bigger than a 90-day standalone motion can carry. The engagement exists for that — not a toolkit buyer on autopilot, just a practitioner pricing out the right shape of work.
