Later Stage Growth
$10M ARR +
SaaSCan provides advisory services to Canadian SaaS companies above 10M in ARR to ensure they are customer-centric and metrics-savvy at scale.
We do this work on a project basis. Past clients have benefitted from:
- Infusing SaaS metrics and targets, informed by relevant benchmarks, into their corporate strategic plan
- Mapping the Customer Journey from the customer perspective, and identifying key initiatives to elevate recurring revenue, customer experience, and employee experience
- Analysis and recommendations to mature and scale the Customer Success function and practices
- Analysis and recommendations to transform the implementation function from being vendor and product centric, to being customer workflow and business outcome centric
- Establishing a framework and oversight for cross functional alignment and accountability to implement strategic recommendations
- Maturing a Voice of the Customer measurement program
The problem
As SaaS companies move beyond the rapid growth phase and shift their focus to efficiency and profitability, they are often challenged because:
- Functional silos become entrenched – There are more and more employees who are not in day-to-day contact with customers, and who are not aware of how their peers in other functional areas are interacting with customers.
- They fail to update company level SaaS metrics and establish updated targets informed by benchmarks at this new stage.
- They fail to invest proportionally to retain and expand existing customers the same way they do to attract new customers.
The impact
- The customer experience suffers, and customer satisfaction, loyalty, and willingness to advocate falls.
- Efficiency and profitability fall behind like companies.
- Initial sales continue to grow, but retention and expansion revenue falls behind relevant benchmarks.
The solution
- Map the Customer Journey and identify key initiatives to elevate the customer experience, employee experience, and recurring revenue.
- Infuse relevant SaaS metrics and targets into the corporate strategic plan.
- Invest in maturing and scaling the Customer Success function and practices alongside investing in new customer sales and marketing.
