Why usage-based pricing?

Usage-based pricing is a no-brainer for companies looking to:

  • Align pricing with the value your customers receive from your services
  • Increase NRR and make it easier to acquire new business

In fact, Maxio Institute data indicates companies with usage-based pricing have grown faster than their subscription-based counterparts since Q1 of 2023.

Operational complexities of usage-based pricing

Companies serious about implementing usage-based pricing know operationalizing it goes beyond identifying a value metric. You also need to think about:

  • How you’ll capture usage events
  • How to ingest, meter, and rate usage data
  • How you’ll bill usage (up-front vs. in arrears)
  • The downstream reporting impacts of your usage revenue stream

Ready to level up your order-to-cash process?

What is order-to-cash and why does it matter?

Order-to-cash refers to the process of creating sales orders, processing them, billing customers, and collecting payments.

For B2B SaaS companies, it’s the lifeblood of not just the finance and accounting function, but business operations as a whole.

Most companies have some sort of infrastructure in place to support the order-to-cash process, but few have mastered it completely.

Order-to-cash mistakes lead to:

  • Revenue leakage
  • Loss of investor/board confidence
  • Failed M&A + valuation haircuts
  • Failed financial audits

Signs of a fragmented order-to-cash process include:

Heavy dependence on Excel

Missed invoices

Inaccurate invoices

Long Days Sales Outstanding or “DSO”

5 Myths of Market Sizing: Debunking Common TAM Misconceptions

Discover the critical mistakes companies make when calculating their market size and how these misconceptions can lead to strategic missteps.

Aired March 26, 2024

Featuring: Randy Wootton, CJ Gustafson

Discover the Truth Behind Common Misconceptions about Market Sizing

Debunk market sizing myths that could skew your business strategy and investment choices. In this webinar, we tackled the misconceptions head-on and provide you with clear, actionable insights on accurately assessing your market’s true potential.

This webinar is now available for CPE credit on Earmark.*

Myth 1: "A Big Market Guarantees Success"

We debunk the dangerous assumption that a large TAM guarantees your venture’s success, highlighting why thorough market analysis matters more than size alone.

Myth 2: "Pre-Packaged TAM Figures Are Enough"

Discover why relying solely on third-party TAM estimates can lead your business astray. We’ll show you the importance of diving deep into market specifics to form a defensible, actionable TAM.

Myth 3: "Stolen TAM Valor"

Claiming a slice of the market without directly competing or offering a new value proposition leads to unrealistic TAMs. We tackle the fallacies behind adjacent market sizes and the illusion of market share.

Myth 4: "TAM and SAM Are the Same"

Gain clarity on the distinction between Total Addressable Market (TAM) and Serviceable Available Market (SAM), and why understanding both is crucial for setting realistic goals and strategies.

Myth 5: "TAM Is Static"

If you think your TAM is set in stone, think again. We explore how market dynamics shift and why regular reassessment is key to staying relevant and competitive.

Mind the Gap

While all retention is good, not all retention is equal. And the ratio between gross revenue retention and net revenue retention contains useful diagnostic information.

We call this “The Gap.”

Featuring: Chris Weber, Randall Lucas

Retention is king in SaaS, for both operators and lenders

While all retention is good, not all retention is equal. And the ratio between gross revenue retention and net revenue retention contains useful diagnostic information.

We call this “The Gap.”

While the math here is simple, The Gap is a rarely discussed metric that provides helpful insights into the continuing health of your SaaS companies and customers.

It’s not often discussed, but the GRR-NRR gap can be a useful “sanity check” on a SaaS company’s metrics, and when it falls outside of the usual range, can give a hint to operators and investors as to when something might need tweaking.

This webinar is now available for CPE credit on Earmark.*

On this webinar, we discussed:

  • Retention benchmarks from this year’s annual SaaS Capital survey
  • Common ranges for The Gap
  • What a narrow GRR-NRR Gap means (and ways to improve)
  • What a wide GRR-NRR Gap means (and ways to improve)
