The NRR Reality Check for 2026

Description:

NRR is under more pressure heading into 2026 than most teams want to admit. Portfolios are heavier. Expectations are higher. New business is not covering the gap. Account Management and Customer Success leaders are being asked to deliver outcomes with structures that were not built for this environment.

The NRR Reality Check for 2026 is a short, honest look at what is happening inside customer revenue right now. We will dig into the market signals, the internal pressure on teams, and the shifts in customer behavior that are making NRR harder than it should be.

This is not a playbook session. You will get a clear view of the landscape, the forces shaping next year, and the real reasons teams feel stretched thin. You will also get a preview of the work we will be doing in the NRR Growth Intensive starting in January.

If you lead Account Management or Customer Success and want to enter 2026 with clarity instead of guesswork, this session will help you get oriented.

“Community matters, and sharing challenges creates mindshare that drives success in account management.”

Throughout my 15 years in account management I’ve found that Amplify has the most, robust, systems and give you the ability to act on these things instantly, and so the content there is just targeted to really helping you succeed within day one.

Robert Sproule VP

"I do want to say that AMplify has been hugely helpful for me."

As I moved back into an executive role, there were a lot of things that weren't in place that we were building from the ground up. I went to AMplify for account planning tools, and some gracious members there had shared some of their best practices and other materials that I was able to utilize as a really helpful starting point for me.

Leigh Anne Lankford

The content is high quality, practical, and constantly evolving.

We had the privilege of having Alex facilitate a full-day session with our team, and the results speak for themselves. Account Managers who were struggling before are now actively implementing what they learned—and we’re seeing real improvements in their performance and confidence.
