- FIRST THINGS FIRST: you need to determine WHAT'S YOUR GROWTH STRATEGY? If you are approaching this as a billing system replacement project, than you are going about things the wrong way â who wants to replace a billing system? With a subscription business model, growth comes down to 3 things: Acquire new customers Expand into your customer base Keep customers happy and renewing Your growth strategy doesnât only focus on new sales, youâre thinking about everything from driving upsells to reducing churn. The key is â you need to find a solution designed to help you drive both growth and retention. These are the 3 key critical components of any subscription based business.
- Launch a New Product or Service (driving towards relationship centric relationships, not product based relationships Launch is not just putting a product into market and seeing the uptake, itâs a lot more than that. You need to understand the Health of your customer relationship, For example, instead of simply focusing on Net Income derived from the new product you will want to measure ARR growth. Instead of simply focusing on Net Income derived from the new product you will want to measure ARR growth 2. Go International Youâve built a business and customer experience that works in your geography and now itâs time to capture new market share and grow revenue. 3. Move into a New Segment (Down Market/Up Market ; B2B/B2C/B2Any ; Introduce Self Service; Multi Channel) Moving down-market means youâre trying to capture the long tail of the market. You need to appeal to the masses, which open doors for larger volume, so you will need to focus on scalability. Customers want a lower-touch sales process and expect a self-service option rather than calling a sales rep or support center. Moving up-market means youâre trying to capture larger customer accounts and more revenue per opportunity. This means a higher-touch sales process and the need to manage an effective direct sales team. Your potential buyers are also used to contracts, rather than handing over a credit card, and youâll need to enable custom terms & pricing. 4. Pricing and Packaging Model Change (e.g., Flat Fee to Usage) Changing your pricing and packaging is not a one-time scenario, itâs a continuous activity. Thereâs a number of reasons to change pricing or packaging. You might have started with a basic pricing model, but evolved over the years as you understand more about your customers. You want add more complex forms of pricing, create new add-ons or bundles, and go international. The point is, pricing and packaging will change over time. The key to staying competitive with pricing and packaging is speed. How long does it take you to respond each time you need to update pricing or packaging? Does it take you a month or a year to rollout new pricing? Instead of thinking of pricing as a daunting, cross-functional project, how can you turn pricing into a competitive advantage? 5. Cross Sell and Upsell additional products (potentially through acquisition) Upselling and and cross-selling products into your installed customer base is a proven growth strategy for subscription businesses like yours to generate more revenue and increase customer lifetime value. Based on our 700 customers, an average of 20% of revenue at subscription businesses come from upsells or cross-sells. By offering upsells and cross-sells youâre also investing in your own long term growth. By offering additional products or services that solve customerâs needs, you drive new customers to subscribe to your product and retain more of your existing customers. 6. Massive Growth of Sales Team First and foremost, you must have the capabilities and processes in place to allow your sales reps to operate swiftly and intelligently. When looking at our install base, weâve seen an average of 82 pricing options in the typical product catalog Thatâs a lot!!! You need to help your sales reps navigate these options. From a user experience standpoint, you want to make sure youâre only presenting reps with the most important information through an easy to understand and use user interface. When it comes to the quote process, streamlining is key. Using account data to automatically guiding reps to the correct products, automatically calculating prices, and automating approval workflows are all critical. 7. Reduce Churn Industry reports show that companies on average spend $3 Trillion per year on Global M&A and that number continues to increase over time. Although spend on global M&A continues to increase, the success rate of those acquisitions vary based on how quickly they can integrate the new business. Companies that are able to develop an operational model that can rapidly absorb these new acquisition have proven to be successful. Dell, for example, is a customer of ours and they acquire dozens of companies per year. Before they implemented Zuora, it took them a year to integrate their newly acquired business. Since theyâve implemented Zuora, theyâve cut that time down by 50% and are now able to integrate new business within 6 months. 8. Acquisition or Spin Off of a line of business Industry reports show that companies on average spend $3 Trillion per year on Global M&A and that number continues to increase over time. Although spend on global M&A continues to increase, the success rate of those acquisitions vary based on how quickly they can integrate the new business. Companies that are able to develop an operational model that can rapidly absorb these new acquisition have proven to be successful.

Question: From a customer perspective â how have they benefited from this initiative? Question: Lastly, any tips you can provide to other prospects that are embarking on a Subscription journey.

- The key is to have a flexible solution that allows you to iterate pricing quickly. When you roll out a new pricing strategy, itâs more realistic and more profitable in the long run to A/B test and iterate on the pricing strategy rather than taking a one and done approach. Letâs look at 3 example, these are 3 of Zuoraâs customers. Before Box was a household name, the company A/B tested every single pricing strategy and is able to roll out a new pricing strategy in less than a week. Informatica Cloud saw an opportunity to become the first provider to offer data integration in the cloud on a pay-as-you-go subscription model. They A/B tested their pricing strategy over the years and have evolved their offering into 7 pricing tiers today. Fairfax Media went digital in 2013. They first started with a â$1 for first monthâ subscription plan to capture more customers before A/B testing new pricing strategies. Today, they offer 3 different plans.
- Question: When looking at creating new pricing and packaging options for your business, what were the some of the inhibitors that led you to looking at a Subscription Billing platform? While you want to get to market quickly, you do not want to disrupt your current customersâ experience. Consider this for your existing customers: Are you forcing your existing customers to move over to the new pricing? If not, how long will you grandfather them into the old prices? Will existing customers still receive the same level of support even if they do not move to the new pricing plan? As for your internal business operations, consider: Will you continue to support the billing, collections, and revenue implications of the old pricing model? How does that live in parallel with the new pricing plan? What is the timeline to roll out the new pricing strategy? And will it be available on all channels? How will you quickly and easily measure the success of the new pricing strategy?
- Question: How did you rally your other internal stakeholders to agree on a position to move, being in mind this change affects the customerâs lifecycle and the implications in the back office. Question: I know itâs only early days, but from a metrics perspective, where do you see the biggest improvement (i.e faster GTM, increase ACV, free to paid conversion, revenue leakage, reduction in A/R, savings in FTE etc.). Question: Lastly, any tips you can provide to other prospects that are embarking on a Subscription journey.
