In SaaS companies, being able to identify which is the ideal customer for your business is usually one of the largest head feeders. Being in a booming business model, we face a lot of audiences, which can be segmented into many factors. This aspect is very positive for the business, but at the same time, it is a problem when it comes to adapting to our audience.
Why do I need to identify the usual SaaS customer?
Big Data has come to stay and all that data we get we must make them useful. We need to keep track of our ideal customers, see their common characteristics and gradually adapt to them. As SaaS is an online business, we can adapt to any type of customer, so doing so will give us a big advantage over the rest.
Data needed analysis
The company is obliged to manage the following data if it wants to grow properly:
- Use a CRM for your business
- Identify not only the customers you consider idyllic but the real ones.

- Consider customers with the highest subscriptions
- Act with customers to get their opinion
As a summary, we leave one of the posts with information to carry out this and more necessary ratios in your SaaS.
Within this analysis many of the companies make mistakes, as is normal, but that we must consider in order not to have them ourselves.
The association that the best customers are the ones with the highest LTV, the ones that close quickly or the ones that want the least attention, are one of the most common mistakes that are commented on by companies.
Most of the above characteristics are relevant but cannot be estimated based on only one criterion. In the first example, no wonder LTV you have, if you don’t get into the app, you never did upgrades…
