?? Churn in 2023 - Gloomy Stats

It costs 5 times more to acquire a new client than keeping one - this is why every churn hurts. The current environment is not great:

  • In Q2 2023, the average churn index hit -1.80, the worst ever
  • Churn rates went up by 9.6% in Q2 2023 compared to last year.
  • The median net revenue retention (NRR) rate across all SaaS companies was 102%.
  • Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) at 91%.

There are many reasons for this like market environment, post-covid, or market. We can't change these things. But we can choose how a business reacts.

The rest of the newsletter focuses on those actions.?


?? Only 3% of RevOps focus exclusively on Customer Success


New Business is key for every SaaS. It makes sense to focus on it. However, there is a clear problem that Customer Success does not get enough focus.

All functions are important. So, the 37% with equal focus is a great start. Best is even Jack Lewis 's comment to prioritize what matters.

We totally agree. The point of this Newsletter is that for most businesses, Customer Success should be the focus right now.


?? Customer Success - SaaS Life Raft in 2023

“In today's SaaS environment, customers are looking at their tech stack more critically than ever before. Tools like Sastrify are gaining in popularity, and are helping your customers get a consolidated view of their tech stack”.

That quote is from the ebook we shared earlier this year with Mick Weijers, the founder of Customer Success Snack.

The advice in it is still helpful today, maybe even more. Here's the link to the ebook .

?? Reduce Churn and Increase Upsell with Customer Data

Companies focus more at new business data than customer data. The data for Upsells or Renewals is there. But it has some problems: lower quality, sits with the wrong people, or hard to understand.

For a client, we made a setup using their data warehouse and created custom tool called "Renewals Calendar".

The impact:

  • 50 hours a month on renewal reports
  • 2 hours per rep per week saved on renewals
  • 0 missed renewals

I agree! The three levers to grow revenue are 1) acquisition, 2) expansion, and 3) reducing churn. 2 and 3 are both focused on existing customers. In the subscription revenue model, we need to align our resources to the greatest upside. Plus acquisition can be costly and time-consuming.
