Negative Churn and Expansion Revenue

At a 35% CAGR, it takes 10 years for a SaaS company to grow from $5M to $100M in ARR

To establish a revenue or lead-commitment based on your funnel metrics and revenue-growth goals, work backward from the gross revenue amount that marketing is responsible for generating (generally around 40%)

The median average contract length is 1.3 years and the average billing term is seven months in advance in 2016. Comparable to 2015, with average contract length shortening from 1.5 to 1.3 years and average billing period increasing by one month from 2015 to 7 months

The average company booking professional services revenue on new deals is equivalent to 16% of the first year subscription value. Professional services margins are approximately 22%

SAAS companies with >$250K median ACV book nearly 25% of their contracts at 3 years or longer

The fastest growing SAAS companies averaged $250k in MRR and were only losing around 3.2% of that revenue each month to churn

If your Net Revenue Churn is high (above 2% per month) it is an indicator that there is something wrong in your business; which may have a dramatically negative effect on your company’s growth. Source: Mckinsey
