DESCRIPTION

The most successful Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue only through new customer acquisition is the less efficient way to scale. Rather, they understand that growing revenue within your existing customer base - through up-sells, cross-sells, and expanded use - is the most profitable way to scale. In fact, 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 operationalize - Customer Success. This presentation - How to use Customer Success to Prep for and Drive Contract Renewals - is from Pulse 2014, the biggest Customer Success industry event ever and included panelists from Concur, InsideView, Marketo

Your Customer’s Success Drives Renewals• CSM’s are your best weapon for

retaining and growing revenue

• Renewal and growth conversations should be a natural extension of your efforts to help your customers achieve their strategic goals

• Understanding your customers interdepartmental/divisional dependencies exposes organic whitespace conversations

• Renewal discussions should NOT be transactional - start early, discuss your customer’s growth expectations, long-term initiatives, next year’s plans, etc.

• Always be asking who, how, why, when can we be helping you more

• Knowing the external factors is mission critical – Leadership Changes, M&A, Funding, Product Releases, Expansion – The more you know, the better your team will protect and grow your revenue!
