Most of us know that one of the keys to thriving in the SaaS landscape is getting customers to renew subscriptions. According to Totango , 56% of SaaS companies treat renewals as a high priority. However, when it comes to actually documenting, streamlining and perfecting that renewal process, far too many of us are looking at courting customers into renewal as a perfunctory obligation, which could be the reason customers are walking away.

In 2014, I published a post called Do Startup Require Less Capital to Succeed than 10 Years Ago ? It’s been five years and time to see how things have changed. In the analysis, I created a metric, the return on invested capital (ROIC). ROIC is the number of revenue dollars that one venture dollar bought.

The fastest growing software companies in recent years all have something in common – they started with little to no sales team. They relied on a great product, with a passionate userbase that helped kickstart an organic growth engine which sold the product for them. But even for companies with this early viral growth, there comes a point in time when this organic growth needs to be supplemented with formal sales.

Why does growth rate matter so much? Why does growth rate influence valuation so much? I was reading a book recently written by a hedge fund manager who discussed valuation frameworks. His explanation was one of the best I’ve come across. If your business is growing at 100% next year, then 90% the year after, and then about 80% the year after, the business will have grown by 3.4x.

Oracle can’t afford Salesforce anymore.
