Stop Tracking Vanity Metrics. Start Measuring Revenue Impact
Have you ever had a customer tell you, "We want to increase revenue using your platform," but when you ask for the numbers, they are not sure and only share the basic information?
According to Gartner, 76% of B2B SaaS companies struggle to measure true business impact beyond surface-level engagement metrics.
Also a recent Gainsight report shows that companies prioritizing customer success achieve 54% higher renewal rates and 57% higher upsell revenue.
And one of CS' most fundamental roles is helping customers move beyond surface metrics to identify and track the numbers that actually drive revenue growth.
A Common Scenario
Consider this:
A marketing automation platform customer claims their goal is to generate more qualified leads and boost conversion rates.
Yet month after month, they only report on basic metrics like email campaigns sent and landing page views.
The real impact on pipeline generation and sales velocity remains hidden.
And this is where you want to focus.
One Powerful Strategy to Try Today
The "Revenue Bridge" Strategy
Instead of accepting surface metrics, try:
"I noticed your sales team uses Salesforce. Could we schedule 15 minutes with your RevOps team to set up a simple integration? This would help us directly track how our automation impacts your pipeline velocity."
Quick Win Example
A SaaS platform used this exact approach.
They moved from tracking email open rates (which were at 25%) to measuring pipeline velocity.
Within 30 days of implementing the Revenue Bridge Strategy, they saw their sales cycle speed up by 40% and could finally show their CEO exactly how their tool impacted revenue.
All it took was one 15-minute call with their RevOps team.
There are three other proven strategies that top CS leaders use to get key metrics from customers.
