    Solid insights on scaling to $100M, especially the point about net revenue retention. To add, a focus on customer success can significantly boost that metric, as it's often cheaper to upsell and retain existing customers than to acquire new ones.

    • @Jasonlk
      @Jasonlk Před 2 měsíci

      Absolutely. These days CS is more and more becoming subsumed in sales, so it’s a more complex point than in the past. But nothing is more important than retaining your customers.

    10:08 Sam, as one of your first year's Trends users I can honestly tell you that you did NOT eff it up by charging 300. As a matter of fact, I ended up not renewing because I didn't think it was worth that to me to keep it going. 30k is just ridiculous for what it was. Having said that, if it was more valuable then yes. But as I remember it during that first year, no I'm sorry. 300 was fair value.

    • @TeliportMe
      @TeliportMe Před 2 měsíci +1

      but then he cant say he did not charge enough :) Trends was at best mediocre.

    • @sburkowski
      @sburkowski Před 2 měsíci

      @TeliportMe I wouldn't say that, it was worth 300/yr but just not 30k is all I was getting at. It's a great concept.
