3 Metrics that Matter New Model, New Metrics

Tyler Sloat, CFO

At the core of Subscription Model is the customer

Business must shift from a…

Product Focus Customer Focus to a

A new approach to revenue growth

A completely new way to measure success

Shifting from selling products to managing relationships means…

The unique business model

Let me sketch it out…

ARR n ACV +

ARR n ACV + Churn -

Let me sketch it out…

ARR n ACV + Churn - ARR = n+1

Let me sketch it out…

Annual Recurring Reven

forward looking ARR is the amount of revenue you expect to repeat. This is different than revenue. Revenue is backwards looking while ARR is forward looking.

Annual Recurring Revenue

New Revenue ACV is your new revenue brought in by new customers or customers upgrading or renewing their existing contract. Ultimately, this drives your ARR. And we like this.

Annual Contract Value

Churn

When Customers Leave You Even if you have the hottest service offering out there, you’ll still have customers leave you. This is important to subtract from your ARR.

Customer downsells… Competitive loss… Business failure…

Churn

The 3 Metrics… that will keep you up at night.

Growth Efficiency Index

The 3 Metrics…

“How much new recurring revenue can we get out of a given investment?”

What’s my strategy?

Spend at least enough money to replace your customers churned. With what’s left, you have to decide to book as profits or invest in growth.

“How much of our recurring revenue should we invest in growth?”

Growth Efficiency Index

Churn Rate

“What’s the minimum new business I need to stay viable?”

Connecting GEI & Churn

If your GEI is 2:1 (spend $2 to generate $1 of ACV) and your churn rate is 30%, you’ll be losing that 30% of your business well before you recover the 2 years of ACV it cost to acquire them.

Recurring Profit Margins

“What’s left to invest in growth after COGs are taken care of?”

Your strategy…

The lower the recurring costs, the more money you have to play with – book as profit or invest back in growth.

Let’s apply this to the real world with some good old fashion benchmarking.
