RecurNow: Recent Episodes
ProfitWell
A daily show that gets behind the truth of subscription, keeping you in the know on all things recurring revenue with sophistication & opinion by the Recur Studios team.
Today, we're taking a look into the future...the future of subscriptions. And who better to learn from than Tien Tzuo, founder of Zuora?
I’m breaking down our data around the pricing power of nine, aka cosmetic pricing. Plus, your B2B SaaS Index, and the scoop on Walmart's new membership service—Walmart+.
A big thanks to everyone who gave me some helpful feedback this week. Many of you had some questions about the index that are answered in today's episode.
How does customer support impact retention? We've got the data to answer that plus tactics to help you improve customer satisfaction. We've also got data from our B2B SaaS index + why you need to market like a media company.
Today, we're spotlighting a badass woman in Saas, Amy Konary. She's the current chair of the Subscribed Institute at Zuora and has been an industry leader for more than two decades.
From her beginning in SaaS to how women can better advocate their accomplishments, Amy's sharing it at all.
Today, we're learning a thing or two about hard things from Ben Horowitz, one of the world's most renowned technology entrepreneurs.
We also launched something pretty cool here at ProfitWell yesterday. I'll fill you in.
I have my best ideas when I'm trying to fall asleep. I'll be lying in bed, after a long, hard day...and still, the wheels are turning. I don't want to lose the idea, so I get up and get back to work. Founders, CEOs, and my fellow go-getters—I know you can relate.
But does the amount of sleep you get impact your company's growth? We'll let the data answer that one.
Remember the other day when we were talking about bananas and value metrics? TLDR: We established the importance of having a value metric, which is what you charge for example, per 100 videos or for a banana’s case… how filling the fruit is.
Today on Recur Now, we’re taking the value metric one step further by talking about the best pricing strategy for SaaS: value-based pricing.
Unless you've gone to the Lucille Bluth school of economics, you know that a banana shouldn't cost $10. This is a value metric. Today on Recur Now, we're making sure you're making the most out of your value metric. We've also got the latest in B2B SaaS growth from our data plus the top headlines you need to know.
With more and more companies either already sharing content or planning on creating more—a common question comes up: is all the creativity, planning and budgeting that comes with content marketing… worth it?
We’re going to let our data answer that one for you.
Time is precious. It seems like no matter how much we work to optimize our time, there's never enough of it. If we, as SaaS operators, feel like there’s never enough time—why do we expect our customers to needlessly give up theirs?
In all honesty, customers don't really want to carve out 30 minutes to talk to your sales rep about pricing. Save them the time and put it online.
In the Recur Now hot seat today: mandated vacation time. As ProfitWell's Patrick Campbell says, "I think that when you're an adult in a company that says they're going to treat you like an adult, you should take the time when you want to take the time." Amid some companies mandating certain days off, we're making our case supporting unlimited paid time off (PTO).
Remember the feeling of going on a first date? You’d buy a new outfit or get your hair done. Then, you spend a good chunk of change on the actual date...only to be ghosted the next day.
You might feel a bit miffed knowing you spent all that money for nothing. It’s not for nothing, though. It’s a learning experience—and one that could be applied to SaaS.
Sometimes you pull out all the stops to woo a customer, only to have them not convert. So frustrating. That’s why today we're sharing tips and tricks on how to reduce your customer acquisition costs while maintaining customer lifetime value.
Imagine no more awkward cold calls and instead letting customers sell your product for you. No need to dream it. All you need is to put a product-led growth strategy into play. Today on Recur Now, we're all about product-led growth and how you can make it work for your business.
Relationships are complicated, even in SaaS. The key to a successful subscription relationship is commitment. So, how do you build commitment in SaaS? Annual contracts.
We're petitioning to ban free trials forever. Okay, not really, but we do prove (back by data) why Freemium is your friend.
For SaaS companies, churn is like the holes in a leaky bucket. You're wasting revenue by fixing it. Maybe you’ve heard this metaphor before, but today I'll reveal the holes (aka churn) you might not even know are there—and how to fill them.
Building a company is hard. Really hard. No matter the circumstance, we hate to see companies fail. Today—we're sharing how the newest ecommerce platform, Elliot, was unable to recover from DDoS attacks, leading them to shut down. As we share this story, know we fully support and commend the Elliot team for all their efforts.

The ProfitWell Book Club is a review style segment during which we digest the best in business books from cover to cover (so you don’t have to).
Name Your Price is a game in which players are prompted with questions of monetary value - reminiscent of childhood discussion: “How much would I have to pay you to lick the floor?” - but with prompts both bigger & bolder.
Overrated/Underrated is a game in which players deem debate-worthy items as they see fit. From freemium and free trials to the cannabis company boom, no topic is off the table.
Subscription Sapiens is a segment during which we dig into the lives of the hardest working humans in the subscription world: how they’re nailing it, what we can learn from their genius, and each time, something you never knew about them.
