SaaS Dashboards Example - Customer Retention Dashboard

A successful business aims for a net retention of 100% or more, indicating monthly growth and customer satisfaction. Building and sharing a retention dashboard with your team emphasizes the importance of customer retention and encourages the implementation of effective strategies, such as onboarding and training new customers to minimize churn and maximize revenue stability.

Acquiring new customers can be expensive for SaaS companies, which is why customer retention is so critical. Taking the time to onboard and train new customers can help minimize churn and save time and money for the business.

How to track net retention

Customer retention is tracked by looking at the ratio of Expansion (positive growth from the existing customer base): Churn (where the whole account is canceled) & Reduction (where the account downgrades its plan with less MRR).

By calculating net retention on a monthly basis, you’re able to understand how successful your customers are with your product. The goal of any business should be to maintain a net retention of 100% or more. This means that you are bringing in more than you are losing each month, which indicates monthly growth in your business. Also, consider tracking Gross Retention to measure revenue stability.

How to show the importance of retention to your team

Customer retention is one of the most important metrics for a SaaS company to track which is why getting your team to rally around this metric is so valuable. We often focus attention on number of new accounts and forget about the accounts we already have.

By building a retention dashboard, you can easily share this data with your team and highlight the importance of retention and key strategies like onboarding and training new customers to help reduce the risk of churn.
