In episode #288 of SaaS Metrics School, Ben Murray tackles a frequent mistake SaaS operators make when calculating Lifetime Value (LTV) — treating it as an aggregate rather than the point-in-time metric. Ben breaks down the correct formula, shares how to align it with gross revenue retention, and explains when LTV (and LTV to CAC) should be used SaaS businesses. What You'll Learn: Why LTV is a point-in-time estimate, not a company-wide average The correct formula for LTV in SaaS: Cohort ARPA × Gross Margin ÷ Churn How to choose the right churn input using gross revenue retention When LTV to CAC is reliable vs. misleading based on your sales motion (SMB, Mid-Market, Enterprise) Common pitfalls when using LTV in low-volume enterprise models Key SaaS Metrics Covered: LTV (Lifetime Value) LTV to CAC Ratio Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) Cohort ARPA / ACV Churn measurement strategy (trailing 3 vs. 6 months) Who Should Listen: SaaS CFOs, founders, marketers, and RevOps professionals looking to improve financial modeling and SaaS efficiency metrics — especially if you rely on paid acquisition or track LTV to CAC closely.

In this episode of "The Death of Vanilla Podcast," host Stephen Burkhart sits down with Katarina, a revenue operations expert who recently launched her own consulting firm after years in Silicon Valley startups. Discover how she's helping SaaS startups implement enterprise-level revenue strategies without the enterprise-level costs.Katarina shares her journey from immigrant to tech startup veteran to founder, and explains her unique approach to RevOps that includes bringing product teams into the revenue conversation—a game-changing perspective most early-stage companies miss.

She shares why she left a prominent community, how her spontaneous critique went viral, and its implications for today's revenue leaders.Emma dives into her ongoing “Who Shot Marketing?” narrative, personifying the profession's decline through the suspects: VCs treating CMOs as disposable, CFOs overlooking marketing's strategic role, and recruitment firms fueling tactical specialization. She argues that marketing's erosion stems from professionals losing their strategic identity and defaulting to siloed, short-term tactics instead of holistic business leadership.Warren and Emma explore the Chief Revenue Officer role as a remedy for fragmented revenue functions. They debate why CMOs often switch to CRO titles for prestige and survival, and how genuine CRO leadership demands a business-centric mindset that integrates marketing, sales, and customer success. Highlighting cross-functional alignment and strategic vision, they offer a blueprint for CROs to unify teams and develop the competencies needed for a coherent revenue engine.In closing, Emma urges listeners to channel their expertise into shaping the next era of marketing and revenue leadership. She calls on CEOs and aspiring CROs to end silos and collaboratively redefine marketing's role within the revenue engine. Listeners are encouraged to share insights and drive positive change. This episode equips leaders with fresh perspectives on strategic marketing, revenue alignment, and building resilient organizations ready for tomorrow's challenges.

In this episode of RevOps Champions, Brendon Dennewill sits down with Sean Steigerwald, a serial entrepreneur and the CEO of CustomerIQ. Sean brings a wealth of experience from founding and growing SaaS and analytics companies, with deep expertise in business development, sales, and RevOps strategy. The conversation kicks off with Sean introducing CustomerIQ—a platform designed to automate and enrich CRM data entry while simplifying email automation for companies with complex sales cycles, particularly those using HubSpot or Salesforce.The discussion dives into the operational challenges of B2B companies, especially those in enterprise SaaS, professional services, and manufacturing. Sean emphasizes that the main pain point for sales and revenue teams is updating and leveraging the CRM efficiently. He stresses the importance of removing tedious manual tasks, and automating processes only after they've been validated manually. Both Sean and Brendon highlight the need for strong RevOps leadership to ensure cross-team alignment and operational efficiency, and share their appreciation for business operating systems like EOS to help teams remain focused and empowered during growth phases.Throughout the episode, Sean champions the value of consistent execution (“lead bullets” over “silver bullets”) and warns against overcomplicating tech stacks with unnecessary tools. They agree that alignment—across people, process, data, and technology—is key to scaling and customer retention. Sean concludes with practical advice: focus on process clarity before automation, use your CRM as a central hub for alignment, and keep things simple.

This week on Revenue Rehab, Brandi Starr is joined by John Williams, a fractional CRO, and Jonathan Moss, founder of AI Business Network, who believe that “AI is useless if your customer data is a chaotic mess”—and they're here to prove it. In this episode, they challenge the widespread assumption that companies are AI-ready just because their data is accessible, arguing that fragmented, siloed data creates “context debt” and erodes trust, retention, and revenue. From eye-opening client stories to tactical fixes, John and Jonathan reveal why senior revenue leaders must prioritize data clarity before chasing AI transformation—or risk accelerating mistakes instead of results. Is your data clean enough to matter, or are you just accelerating garbage? Listen in, debate, and decide.  Episode Type: Problem Solving   Industry analysts, consultants, and founders take a bold stance on critical revenue challenges, offering insights you won't hear anywhere else. These episodes explore common industry challenges and potential solutions through expert insights and varied perspectives.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1: Clean Data is the Real Prerequisite for AI Success [00:00]  John Williams and Jonathan Moss argue that most companies are rushing into AI without first fixing fundamental data problems. They challenge the popular belief that AI alone can drive revenue impact, asserting instead, “AI can't save your revenue engine if your data is a chaotic mess.” Brandi Starr pushes for specifics, leading to a candid debate on why data readiness—not AI adoption—is the real starting line for AI ROI.  Topic #2: The Cost of Context Debt on Revenue Teams [05:37]  Jonathan Moss introduces the concept of “context debt”—the hidden tax organizations pay when fragmented data erodes efficiency and trust. He challenges the common practice of making decisions in data silos, warning that “strategic decisions on impartial information” will hurt revenue and customer relationships. Brandi spotlights Moss's point that context debt directly leads to lost deals and missed growth, stirring debate on how leaders should audit and connect data before deploying AI.  Topic #3: RevOps, Not IT, Should Orchestrate Data Readiness [22:17]  Jonathan Moss boldly claims that revenue operations—not IT or individual business units—should own the responsibility for stitching together customer data. He disrupts the status quo: “The go to market system, which I consider data, process and technology, should be owned by RevOps.” The discussion challenges traditional data ownership models and urges CROs/CMOs to empower RevOps to connect silos, warning that without clear ownership, AI projects will fail to deliver impact.  The Wrong Approach vs. Smarter Alternative  The Wrong Approach: “They try to think about connecting all their systems to the single truth without asking the question, what decision are we trying to make that this would help us be faster and better? And so they try to take on the entire the entire project of connecting versus thinking about what, what do we need to answer and how do we, how do we do that in a better way?” – Jonathan Moss  Why It Fails: Attempting to integrate every data system all at once often leads to overwhelming complexity, wasted resources, and solutions that don't directly support urgent business needs. Without clarity on the specific decisions the business wants to improve, massive integration projects lack focus and can stall or fail, burdening teams instead of accelerating outcomes.  The Smarter Alternative: Start with the decisions that matter most—determine which questions need answering to drive business impact and work backward to connect only the necessary data sources for those outcomes. By aligning data efforts with clear, actionable objectives, companies can deliver value quickly and ensure their data strategy fuels smarter, faster decision-making.  The Rapid-Fire Round  Finish this sentence: If your company has this problem, the first thing you should do is _ “List all your customer data locations. Don't worry about whether it's clean yet—just knowing where all your data is and what it contains is your starting point.” – John Williams  What's one red flag that signals a company has this problem—but might not realize it yet? “Confusing data infrastructure with decision infrastructure. Just because your data is ‘clean' and stored in the right place doesn't mean it's actionable or aligned for decision-making.” – Jonathan Moss  What's the most common mistake people make when trying to fix this? “Trying to connect every system to a single source of truth without first asking what business decision you're actually trying to make. Instead, start with the question you need to answer, then connect only the data necessary for that.” – Jonathan Moss  What's the fastest action someone can take today to make progress? “Gather all your department heads for a 55-minute whiteboard session. Map out the customer journey, pinpoint each team's touchpoints, and identify what data you have at each stage. This quickly reveals gaps and opportunities for data flow improvement.” – John Williams  Links: John Williams  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/growthcro  Business: https://www.sunbusinessgroup.com/   Links: Jonathan Moss  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mossjonathan/  X:  https://x.com/JonathanMoss  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AIBusinessNetwork  Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wQXqIjaKSn97HkVYNnbzg?si=7386dc681a7f4f4c  Business: http://www.aibusinessnetwork.ai/   Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

When cybersecurity companies are racing to outpace evolving threats, innovation often starts in an unexpected place: revenue operations. In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with John Queally, Senior Director of Revenue Operations at Clari, to explore why RevOps has become a vital engine behind the performance and resilience of cybersecurity leaders. John brings a unique perspective from his journey through banking, analytics, and enterprise tech. What stands out is how rapidly the RevOps function has matured from a back-office support role to a central, strategic force. Especially in the cybersecurity space, where innovation requires ongoing investment and risk is measured in seconds, the pressure to run efficient, scalable revenue processes has never been greater. We delve into why clean, trusted data is the backbone of any AI strategy and how 67% of revenue leaders still don't trust the data they're using. It's a staggering insight, and one that underscores the urgent need for cross-functional alignment. John explains how RevOps can serve as the connective tissue across sales, marketing, customer success, and finance, moving companies from a place where they're debating the accuracy of dashboards to making real decisions in real time. He also shares a behind-the-scenes look at Clari's work with cybersecurity firms like Okta, where implementing balanced pipeline strategies and streamlining task prioritization has unlocked measurable improvements. We discuss the rise of AI, but John doesn't just repeat industry headlines. He calls out the "unsexy" truth that real AI advantage requires the hard work of data cleanup first and those who do it will pull ahead. From operational transparency to building trust within revenue teams, this episode challenges assumptions about how data, AI, and RevOps intersect. And for anyone in cybersecurity or enterprise tech wondering how to scale effectively while preparing for what's next, this conversation offers a grounded and insightful starting point. Is your company still debating data? Or are you ready to turn trusted insights into action?

Torben brings a unique background, having moved from Europe to Minneapolis driven by both personal and professional opportunities. With deep roots in building and scaling data-driven businesses, Torben's journey reflects his ongoing commitment to leveraging technology, curiosity, and ownership as core tenets of leadership.The discussion centers around the pivotal role of data in driving organizational growth and effective sales strategies. Torben explains how, at Siteimprove, deliberate data collection and operationalization made a significant difference, allowing his teams to continually refine their approach and set themselves apart from competitors. Both speakers underscore the importance of not just amassing data, but actually using it to inform decisions, shape company culture, and define ideal customer profiles (ICP). Torben shares how curiosity pushed his teams to seek out unique data points and patterns, going beyond industry basics to truly understand why some customers thrive while others churn.As the conversation evolves, Torben outlines how emerging technologies like AI are transforming CRM and sales operations. He describes Gainbox as the toolset he wishes he had earlier in his career—a scalable, AI-powered platform for uncovering actionable data signals and keeping CRMs efficient and up-to-date. The episode wraps up with advice for RevOps leaders: remain open to experimentation, make bold leadership decisions rooted in company values, and focus on intelligent, targeted outreach rather than generic, high-volume tactics. The result is a refreshingly practical perspective on preparing businesses for the next wave of technological innovation in revenue operations.Find more at revopschampions.com
