SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I'll tell you, when we add sales and marketing heads, our ramp is pretty quick, and so maybe they're more enterprise-focused.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

We're just under 1,000.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Good question.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Off the top of my head, I would say there's probably in the R&D team about 200, and then sales is about 160.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1500 BullHorn Sold 60% Early On, Now $200m in ARR, E50+

Yeah.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So in the SMB, it's about three to three and a half.

And then in the enterprise, it's a full block.

The one we look at a lot is CAC to LTV, and especially by segment.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So if we're talking about a large customer, the CAC to LTV, and I exclude upsells from that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

I just look at what's the cost to acquire the initial customer.

And also, the upsells really blur.

You had churn over here, so you'll end up with an infinite LTV to CAC.

And so I like to look at it sort of a raw basis.

And that for us has been a really good metric.

And like the SMB, we were good, but not great.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And it's allowed us to become great.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And in the enterprise, we're, you know, excellent, amazing.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1500 BullHorn Sold 60% Early On, Now $200m in ARR, E50+

Like, what do you consider excellent?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

You get 1% churn and it costs you $2.
