Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

Gross retention, I mean, let's talk about churn, right, which is the one minus retention.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

We have a churn rate of about 3%.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

Yeah, it's actually more than that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

3% of our revenues go out each month.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

Got it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

uh actually something close to five percent of our customers go out because typically smaller customers tend to turn because they just die or just stop paying uh now the good thing is that net churn is negative so if you factor in the expansion we get from our customers we actually without doing nothing we typically have a growth between five to fifteen percent a month

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

So, I mean, direct cost is quite limited and that's a good thing with integrations.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

exclude revenue sharing right so typically our customers install zendesk i guess you're familiar with zendesk right yeah uh you install zendesk and then you say hey that's cool for my tickets emails now i need a solution for phone calls they go on the marketplace look up for calls and we just first because we're air cold so just ranked alphabetically and they get us and try us and be so cost for us was essentially the time to develop that which was

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

like two weeks, then there's no variable cost here.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Would You Sell for $6m Today? No. With Olivier Pailhes of Aircall.io EP 200

Now, the only variable cost is that we pay a lot of attention to convert as much customers as we can.
