How to use Customer Success to Prep for and Drive Contract RenewalsGainsight
The most successful Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue only through new customer acquisition is the less efficient way to scale. Rather, they understand that growing revenue within your existing customer base - through up-sells, cross-sells, and expanded use - is the most profitable way to scale.

Specifically, the quality of problem-solving services had a greater impact on repurchase intent than product quality alone. The study was limited by its focus on firms rather than specific products/services. Future research could further explore the impacts of multiple suppliers on post-purchase behavior and repurchase decisions.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

For every 250 subsribers added Cost = $ 9,889
Revenues earned from 250 users Cash = $14,589
Cash earned for adding new users Number= 585
New cost of adding 1 user $ 6,064

# of subscribers in < 4 iterations 5,802
XAMUN will be able to achieve the target of 5,000 paying
subscribers using the SEM techniques and feeding back of cash
earned from the customers acquired into SEM expenses again.
21. Metrics: Freelancers Acquisition
Freelancers Acquisition via Hackathons Cost of Acquisition v/s Target Achieved
# of top engineering colleges in India 250 Cost of sponsoring 1 hackathon $ 1,000
# of zones across these colleges 5
Average # of students/college 500
Prize money offered for 1 hackathon $ 1,000
Average # of programmers/college 100 # of hackathons planned for India 5
Average # of participants/college 40% 40 Total Cost of sponsoring hackathons $ 10,000
Total # of participants across India 10,000 Cost of acquiring 1 freelancer via hackathons $ 1.00
Total # of impressions 125,000
Revenue earned from 1 freelancer on XAMUN $ 12.00
Total # of potential freelancers 25,000
Total # of actual programmers/freelancers 10,000
Marketing Efficiency of hackathons strategy 1100%
Total # of freelancers acquired through this channel = 10,000
However, positive network effect will kick in around these numbers and the
overall # of freelancers acquired can increase by 500% in 6 months of contests
A cost/benefit analysis of the Hackathons strategy shows that the efficiency in
this method is best suited for XAMUN marketing
The cost of acquiring “skilled” freelancers is difficult in this method as college
graduates will need little mentoring initially
23. Conclusion
XAMUN is a great product with clear value proposition
It is built on proven, reliable & credible technologies
Since only Corporate customers pay for the licensing of
XAMUN it has potential to attract more freelancers
Creating an interactive community of consulting
companies & professionals is the end goal of XAMUN
and this marketing plan is aligned with that strategy
However the budget allocated for the purpose is
limited and the results may be slightly less than targets
