DESCRIPTION

The most successful Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue only through new customer acquisition is the less efficient way to scale. In fact, top-tier Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue within your existing customer base - through up-sells, cross-sells, and expanded use - is the most profitable way to scale. And Enterprise SaaS companies that grow revenue - and company valuation - by expanding revenue within their existing customer base also know the key to making this work is to focus on - and actually operationalize - Customer Success. In this presentation - originally presented at the 2014 SIIA Maximize event in San Francisco, CA - Gainsight CEO Nick Mehta shares 10 Growth Hacks for Driving Enterprise SaaS Revenue.
