Empower Your Product Teams - Focus on the Right SaaS Metrics

Event details

June 13, 2022
7:00 pm

Are you dealing with these problems?

You’re acquiring new customers for free trials, but not they’re not converting to paid customers.

Customers become paid users but leave within a few months (customer churn is high).

You’re having a hard time upselling to your current customers.

You don't have a repeatable startup growth model.

Finding the root cause

Sometimes problems you see are actually symptoms of a bigger problem.

In this Open Office Hours discussion, Andrew and Ryan dig into how to determine which metrics you need to focus on to solve those problems and how to empower your product team to make an impact.

Questions we will cover

  • Which SaaS metrics matter the most?
  • Where you should be looking for bottlenecks in your product?
  • What really happens when you fix them?
  • What’s the most effective way to improve those metrics with your team?
