Between the SMB and Enterprise customer types, the top-quartile performers not only have net-revenue churn that is 14% to 23% percentage less than the average performers but also have net-revenue churn that is negative in an absolute sense

Companies typically track three churn metrics: customer churn, gross-revenue churn, and net-revenue churn. The most comprehensive of these three metrics is net-revenue churn, as it captures both the dollar value lost from churning customers and the dollar value gained from expansion revenue (which comes from both up-selling and cross-selling to existing customers). Our analysis showed several results:

• Across all three customer types, companies in the top quartile of growth maintained lower net-revenue churn than mean performers.
• The net-revenue performance of the top-quartile-growth performers was driven most significantly by advantages in gross-revenue churn as opposed to logo churn or revenue expansion (upsell/cross sell) within existing accounts.
• Companies that excel at lowering gross-revenue churn emphasize several key customer-success best practices throughout their organizations.
