Upsell Myth #1: Wait until Churn < 10%
|
Don’t worry about upsells until churn is below 10%? Really? No, this mindset limits growth and stifles potential. Unless your environment is overtly customer-negative and you have massive churn across your entire customer base, you don’t need to hit some mythical churn threshold before upselling. Yes, address churn where it’s an issue, but also recognize that some customers are progressing and ready for expansion NOW. Here’s the truth:
By upselling to those ready customers, you can offset churn and achieve NRR over 100%, sustaining and even growing your business while keeping valuations high. Remember, it’s not about waiting for perfect conditions. It’s about recognizing and seizing opportunities for your customers to expand where they need to.
