The One Number That Predicts Enterprise Software Renewals
B2B SaaS Talks with Fexingo · 2026-05-28 · 7 min
Episode notes
Most SaaS companies track churn rate, but that's a lagging indicator. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into a lesser-known metric - the 'adoption score' - that correlates more strongly with enterprise renewals than any other single data point. Using examples from a mid-market ERP rollout and a $2 million annual contract negotiation, they explain how vendors and buyers alike can spot renewal risk months before the contract end date. Lucas shares the exact formula that one private-equity-backed software firm uses to rank its top 200 accounts, and Luna pushes back on whether this metric actually captures real usage or just dashboard clicks. The conversation also touches on how procurement teams are now asking vendors for their own adoption data as part of the due diligence process. #EnterpriseSoftware #SaaS #B2BSales #CustomerSuccess #Renewals #Churn #Adoption #Metrics #RevenueOperations #RevOps #SaaSGrowth #CustomerRetention #ValueEngineering #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SaaS Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
