Q: Can the majority of a SaaS company’s revenues come from existing customers? Yes, especially once you are at scale. In fact, as you get bigger, it gets pretty common with bigger deals and in the enterprise. Let’s take some examples: #1. 73% of Salesforce’s new bookings come from its existing customers. A bit more here. #2. UiPath is at $600m ARR now growing 65% a year … and 75% of its new revenue / bookings are from existing customers.

We all say this, “Nothing happens until someone sells something.” I don’t know how many times I’ve used that expression. I was reminded of it reading an article the other day. I started reflecting on this. It’s natural for we “sales” types to think about this. Our companies can’t build products, offer services, invoice, or get revenue until we sell something.

There’s an exercise I’ve quietly done for about 6 months. Every time I talk to a top CEO, founder or VC over a Zoom catch-up, I first ask them, “How are you doing, 1-10? Overall?” They aren’t used to the question, but after pausing, most have done pretty well during Covid. It’s not that anyone wanted a pandemic, or the disruption.

In every organization, there are problem performers. People who, for various reasons, are not meeting performance expectations. They may be “C” players that need to raise their performance. They may be “D/F” players where other actions may be necessary. Too many managers think it’s the person, the problem performer, that’s the problem.

If you’ve worked at a B2B company that uses an ABM strategy for their Go To Market and has an SDR team you have inevitably run into the problem of lead attribution. In B2C or e-commerce these problems exist, too. Was it the Facebook ad that helped us drive the sale? Or was it the blog, or the TV ad? What’s the impact of each? It’s hard to know.

Success in sales is a combination of the quantity of calls you make, and the effectiveness of each call. The reason we hire more reps is because we want to get a higher quantity of calls. The reason we train with coaches is because we want to get better quality of calls. Surprisingly, although sales people have more time now to do more calls, the quantity of calls has gone down.

CEOs often start off as normal people, but then the job after maybe 18 months … rewires your brain. What changes: Your mind thinks about work 24x7x365 — in some fashion. This does not mean being in the office constantly, or not taking vacations. It does mean your mind is constantly thinking of new ideas, how to fix problems, how to recruit new team members, how to update your product, etc.
