Baird Hall

[08:34] “The first thing to understand is that the customer you're selling to, B2B individuals, different types of businesses, the person who you're selling to, and your pricing model and pricing point, all three of those things come together to determine really generally where your churn range is going to fall."

[17:48] "Understanding that when customers are canceling, a good portion of those that don't actually want to cancel, they would prefer to find a different arrangement. But because they can't, they will just cancel the product."

[21:05] "Segment your customers visiting or canceling; give them the right flow. Personalize the cancellation process, remind them why they came, and remind them of the value or the future they were trying to get to with your product. And then, based on why they say they're canceling, give them the right offer."


Matt Wolach

[14:22] "Reactivations is the one untapped metric for subscription health that many SaaS businesses aren't tapping into."

[20:12] "A lot of times, you talk to other founders, and you realize that your problems are not super unique, and your world's actually not falling apart, and things aren't as bad as you think they are."
