Having high net revenue / dollar retention is the magic of SaaS. If you have 120% NRR, you double in 5 years, even with no new customers! Above that, and you really get into magical compounding growth. But … high NRR can also mask issues. I see this so often. It can mask: 1. High NRR can hide mediocre growth in new logos and customers. This is issue #1.

Seven years ago, Microsoft surprised the world — and its hardware partners — by releasing its first laptop: The Surface Book. It was a flop. But, unlike some Microsoft hardware experiments I could mention — the Surface tablet, Surface RT , and the infamous Kin phone — Microsoft kept hacking away at the Surface Book. Today, its descendants such as the Surface Laptop Studio are darn good laptops.

Those skilled in the art of BS detection can tell you that 99% of company mission, vision, and values statements are meaningless. For corporate ideals to be more than just blatant-hypocrisy-in-poster-form, leadership has to build them into the company’s operating systems: how they hire/fire/promote, how they prioritize product investments, treat customers, make decisions around funding and acquisitions, and more.
