Take Customer Churn Reasons at Face Value And Do Something About It
If you do a search for “SaaS churn reasons” you will see some great articles and pick up some useful advice about combating churn. Many articles will point to “lack of value” as the root of most churn. And they are right. In most cases if a customer doesn’t receive value, they will not continue […]
A SaaS Renewal Strategy Starts On Day One
It’s common to design a SaaS renewal process that starts about 90 days before the date of renewal. It’s common, but that doesn’t make it right, does it? A great, proactive SaaS renewal process really starts the day the customer signs up. And renewal is just really one huge part of the overall initiative to […]
Slow SaaS Customer Onboarding? Get Creative.
A long, drawn-out SaaS onboarding process is a momentum killer, and puts your customer (and you) at risk for low product engagement. And low product engagement is, unfortunately, a churn indicator.

I was reminded of this at the Silicon Y’all event earlier this month when my session about fighting SaaS customer churn was followed by a fantastic presentation on […]
The Customer Success Team Can’t be Responsible for SaaS Customer Churn
There, I said it. As a SaaS founder who led sales, customer success, product support, and professional services, I fully believed every customer retention issue was squarely on my shoulders. And every customer retention win was because of the product. I LOVED our product and the value it brought to our enterprise customers. I passionately […]
SaaS Customer Marketing Basics
Since returning from Silicon Y’all, we’ve had several Beacon9 client meetings with something in common. They’ve all had adoption, usage, and retention challenges, and they all lack SaaS customer marketing basics. This is despite being quite mature (in SaaS terms) and despite achieving scale with double-digit millions in ARR. These are quality companies whose growth […]
