2022’s impact on the SaaS industry was significant, deeply impactful, and turbulent.

Few metrics yield as much insight and impact on a company’s valuation as Net Dollar Retention (NDR). NDR gives a clear picture of how much growth a company is able to generate from existing customers and, by extension, how satisfied those customers are with the value being delivered. In the exploding subscription-based economy, it’s no surprise that SaaS leaders are honing in and focusing on this metric as a key indicator of overall health and valuation. Here, we explore 3 data-driven reasons why Net Dollar Retention must be the north star metric for measuring the impact of your customer lifecycle on your business.

4. 6 Vital Steps To Creating A Revenue-Driving Customer Value Hierarchy

In the subscription economy, prescribing and delivering consistent value throughout the customer journey is a mission critical priority. Unfortunately, the reality in many enterprise organizations is that there is no universally-agreed upon structure for the definition and delivery of customer value. The silos of legacy organizations continue to exist in the modern subscription business, creating friction, miscommunication and misaligned responsibilities between organizations. In this customer success blog post, we share 6 vital steps to creating an effective customer hierarchy that unites your entire organization around the delivery of optimal customer value.
