Software startups seem drawn by sirens to brand their features. Hey, Apple does it. Think: Siri, Facetime. Microsoft tries it: Cortana. Starbucks even brands a cup size: Venti. So if they can do it, we should too, right? Wrong [1]. But it’s so cool. Imagine it’s a long time ago and we’re about to launch the first DBMS with stored procedures [2].

It’s been two quarters since the coronavirus has hit Startupland. And you can see the impact of the shutdown in the numbers.

It took about six to eight quarters to return to normalcy.

Customers churn because they don’t want to use your product anymore, right? Well, not necessarily. There’s this “little” thing called involuntary churn that’ll slowly eat away at your business if you let it go unchecked. And unfortunately, a lot of SaaS and subscription-based companies don’t take any action to stop it from happening. The end result is unnecessary cancellations, lost revenue, sadness, despair, misery, nightmares… Ok, maybe that’s a little extreme.

Does your marketing often drop the L-bomb? You know the one: leads. They obsess over building perfect websites, landing pages, forms, content, and call-to-actions to have a modicum of chance to catch a prospect’s eye and attract their interest. Entire marketing budgets are devoted to their infinite pursuit and persuasion. But if you’re like most companies, when it comes to attracting your customers, the only thing your marketing’s dropping is the ball.

ClinicSense is a SaaS platform that supports over 7,000 massage therapists who use it for appointment management, payments, scheduling, marketing activities and more. Despite having a relatively low payment failure rate, the company discovered that the failures disrupted the customer experience. This often led to churn as customers decided to cancel or abandon their account, preventing ClinicSense from realizing the full lifetime value (LTV) of its users.

It’s easy to say “only hire people with start-up experience.” It’s also very tempting to hire folks that have worked at the partners, in the ecosystem that you work in, and at the companies you aspire to be like. And at some point, you have to scale. To scale, you do need some folks that have been there. Not everyone can be doing it for the first time.
