Kevin Appleby is in conversation with Roi Ben Daniel. Roi is the founder and CEO of Received, a billing and accounts receivable solution focused on the specialised needs of B2B sales organisations. They discuss the challenges facing mid-market SaaS companies and the pressures CFOs face around software costs, pricing models, and customer unit economics. Roi also shares insights into opportunities like service monetisation and why building invoicing in-house often doesn't make sense compared to a dedicated solution. Roi discussed how companies are gaining more pricing flexibility to address demands from both customers and investors. Offering tiered pricing through levels of service like bronze, silver and gold helps give customers options while protecting recurring revenues. He also talked about how services, which can be one of the highest costs for software businesses, are often provided for free historically. Now, companies are finding innovative ways to monetise services through recurring tiers with bank hours and overage fees. Organisations are also looking to "productise" services in order to maximise commercial value from each customer relationship. https://youtu.be/WVWwci4Ba7Y Links Join GrowCFO today GrowCFO Finance Transformation Boot Camp GrowCFO Show episode 137 "Subscription Pricing and Packaging" with Wolter Rebergen, Commercial Director at Younium Roi Ben Daniel on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn Timestamps Cash flow and revenue management for B2B sales lead organizations.

"Over the last 20 years, we've built up a really good relationship with our customers, and we often ask them, what do you need, rather than, oh, we have this new product."He explains how this guides research and development and helps deliver solutions to make the most of the budget they have, especially as revenue budgets are disappearing rapidly."It's important to see for them to see if they're one requirement could actually be used for other solutions," he says.You'll also hear a reminder of two of the most popular previous guests on Highways Voices, Rory Sutherland and Pete Dyson, who'll be our guests again next week as they look forward to their appearance at this September's JCT Traffic Signals Symposium.

As agency owners, tech stacks are a large part of how we operate and provide value and success to our clients.

McKenzie Fagan is the Area Sales Manager for Henry Schein One, the world's largest dental practice management software company. Henry Schein One combines leading practice management, marketing, and patient engagement solutions into one cohesive management system to help improve every aspect of your business. With Henry Schein One, McKenzie helps multi-sites and group practices strategize around the technology that will best facilitate their growth plans while creating an economy to scale throughout that expansion. Before joining Henry Schein One, McKenzie was a Senior Sales Manager at Doctible. She graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a degree in Bio-Psychology. In this episode… When it comes to finding the best practice management software, most group practices don't know what to look out for or where to start.

So, finding the best software becomes complicated fast. Technology is meant to make things easier and streamline your workflow, not make it harder!  In this week's episode of In Your Face Podcast, Blair Feldman interviews McKenzie Fagan, Area Sales Manager for Henry Schein One, about her company's mission of providing practice management solutions to dental group practices. McKenzie differentiates between server-based and cloud-based technology solutions, explains what centralization, standardization, and machine learning mean, and shares how technology can help group practices in running their businesses.
