CRM for SaaS Companies
SaaS companies operate on recurring revenue, which means the relationship doesn’t end at the sale — it begins there. You need to track monthly recurring revenue, monitor churn signals, convert trial users to paid, and manage a constant stream of feature requests. Traditional CRMs are built for one-time deals, not subscription businesses.
SaaS CRM challenges
Section titled “SaaS CRM challenges”- Revenue is recurring — MRR, ARR, expansion, contraction, and churn all need tracking
- Trial-to-paid conversion — trial users need targeted engagement during their evaluation window
- Churn prevention — detecting at-risk customers early is the difference between growth and decline
- Feature request management — customers constantly ask for new features, and you need to track demand patterns

- Subscriptions — linked to Account, plan, MRR, billing cycle, status (Trial / Active / Past Due / Churned)
- Feature Requests — linked to Account and Contact, description, priority, vote count, status (Requested / Planned / In Progress / Released)

Workflows included
Section titled “Workflows included”- Trial engagement — when a trial begins, schedule automated check-in emails on days 3, 7, and 12
- Trial expiry warning — 2 days before trial ends, alert the assigned rep to reach out
