Is your freemium offering ahead of its time?

Patrick Campbell, CEO of subscription metrics platform Profitwell, joins Raj to cover the differences between freemium, a free trial, and "faux" free trial. 

With the way marketing is going, Patrick believes you won't be able to build a successful SaaS without a freemium offering.

Noteworthy insights:

• Benchmarking a typical freemium conversion rate is difficult because it depends on how companies acquire leads and how good those leads are... (you can be great at getting lots of people to take you up on your freemium product, but if most of them aren't actually your ideal customer, conversion will be low)
• You should monitor conversions over 30-days as well as 6-months; and 50% of good leads should convert within 6 months, says Patrick 
• Pace yourself: The best companies wait until they know how to convert leads, they implement freemium after a few years
• A big mistake Patrick sees is when companies approach freemium as a cheap or worse version of their product; "Your freemium version has to be better than the paid competition," says Patrick
