[SaaS Club] SaaS Growth Metrics 101: CAC, LTV, Retention and Churn

Hey, this is Omer...

Here's a quick round-up of what's been going on:

🔦 Spotlight
Do you employ or pay workers in other countries? Even if you don't yet, you might soon. Remote work is the new norm and employees have more freedom than ever to move around. If you want to keep your best people you have to stay flexible.

Remote makes it easy for companies of ALL sizes to employ global teams. They take care of international payroll, benefits, taxes, and local compliance, so you can focus less on paperwork and more on growing your business.

See why top global companies like GitLab and Loom trust Remote to manage and pay their international teams. Whether you want to hire one person or 100, Remote makes it easy.

🎧 Podcast
We just published the latest episode of The SaaS Podcast:

313: SaaS Growth Metrics 101: CAC, LTV, Retention and Churn

Paul Orlando is the founder of Startups Unplugged where he's building internal incubator and accelerator programs around the world.

He's also a Professor of Entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California (USC), and he's the author of "Growth Units: Learn to Calculate Customer Acquisition Cost, Lifetime Value, and Why Businesses Behave the Way They Do."

This episode is a crash course to help you understand and calculate your customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, retention, and churn (including negative churn and why that's a great goal for your SaaS business).

We cover the common mistakes that founders make when working with these metrics and share some best practices to help you be more successful.

By the end of this episode, you should have more confidence in understanding those metrics and how to use them to help you drive business growth.

I hope you enjoy it.
