Episode notes
Retention Drives Most Revenue
- Spending is 5-7x higher on new business than retaining existing clients, despite 80-90% of revenue coming from current accounts.
- Firms that rigorously manage client retention have net revenue retention (NRR) over 120% and achieve hypergrowth.
Churn Reduction Boosts Growth
- Retaining clients is far cheaper than acquiring new ones; new clients cost 5-25 times more to acquire.
- Reducing churn directly improves predictability and growth; even modest improvements compound significantly.
Align Culture and Incentives
- Shift cultural expectations: growth isn't just new logos, but also net revenue retention (NRR) from existing clients.
- Align organizational incentives across sales and customer success to prioritize both new business and retention.
