Negative Churn Threshold
A precise tool.
What is the Negative Churn Threshold & How does it work?
Negative churn refers to the situation where a company’s revenue from existing customers increases over time, despite losing some customers. This can happen through upselling, cross-selling, and other strategies that increase the average revenue per user (ARPU) more than the number of lost customers.
The expansion rate needed for negative churn is a critical metric for SaaS companies to understand how much they need to grow their revenue from existing customers to offset customer attrition. This metric helps in setting realistic growth targets and planning strategies to improve customer lifetime value (CLV).
