📆 Today’s Rundown

Hey 👋, sorry again for not being around for 2 Saturdays, but I was moving to a new apartment, onboarded bunch of new clients and needed to take care of existing ones. I hope you missed me, because this week you’re getting 2 issues, and this is the second one!

So in the last issue, we discussed why tracking Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) matters, and now we are moving with the next topic from Bookings & Customers content, and today’s topic is:

3 Reasons Why Tracking Customer Count Matters

1. It reflects your company’s growth potential

• Customer count is more than just a number.

• It offers a clear picture of revenue generation, customer attrition, and retention efforts.

• A growing customer count demonstrates market trust and the effectiveness of your SaaS model.

2. It informs strategic planning and investor confidence

• Accurate customer count data helps you set meaningful company goals, refine retention strategies, and attract investor interest.

• When analyzed alongside churn and revenue metrics, it provides a holistic view of business health.

3. It drives operational and product decisions

• Customer count trends allow SaaS companies to evaluate product-market fit and operational efficiency.

• Segmenting customer count by region, product line, or customer type reveals areas of success and opportunity.

Customer Count Stat of the Week

700 Active Customers

That’s the total customer count for a growing SaaS company with a mix of 500 monthly subscriptions and 200 annual contracts. Accurate tracking like this can inform retention strategies and revenue forecasting. For example, identifying churn among the 50 customers who canceled last month highlights areas to improve customer experience.
