Exordiom's battle-tested 
LASER operating framework

LASER is how we assess and fix your revenue engine. We evaluate five critical areas—Lead generation, Acquisition, Sustain, Expand, and Run—then tell you exactly what's working, what's not, and what to do about it. Simple scores, clear action plan, measurable progress.

Lead Generation

Lead generation is the lifeblood of any SaaS business. To achieve consistent, scalable growth, your business must outstrip sales capacity with a constantly overflowing pipeline. Employing a multi-pronged strategy, that blends both inbound (content marketing, SEO, Paid ads, social media, events and trade shows) and outbound (sales prospecting, account-based marketing, partnerships, industry influencers, webinars, and virtual events) tactics, cultivates an abundant lead generation environment. A crystal-clear understanding of your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and targeted segments is imperative for generating high-quality leads that can convert into lucrative opportunities."Organizations with tightly aligned sales and marketing had 36% higher customer retention rates and achieved 38% higher sales win rates-Marketing Profs

Comprehensive KPIs for Lead Generation

ACQUISITION

Acquisition of new customers is a touchstone of product-market fit for SaaS businesses and a lens to view and interpret customer needs, behaviors, and expectations. It generates insights for fine-tuning the product and aligning it with market needs. Acquisition propels revenue growth, amplifies brand visibility, and is a catalyst for innovation in an increasingly saturated market. By incorporating proven hiring frameworks, rigorous lead-to-close processes, data-driven tools, and robust first-line management, startups can continually optimize sales performance and create a repeatable, scalable mechanism for acquiring new customers.

"Companies that maintain a well-structured sales process are 33% more likely to be high performers." - Vantage Point Performance

Comprehensive KPIs for ACQUISITION

SUSTAIN

Sustaining your customer base as a SaaS business relies on ensuring extensive product adoption across the customer's organization. This entails delivering immediate and continual value, causing your solution to permeate deeply into your customers' operations until its value becomes indispensable. An upward hockey-stick effect for value delivery necessitates a well-defined post-sales strategy, high NPS and CSAT scores, streamlined customer communication, and an unwavering focus on delivering consistent, tangible value. When executed correctly, this not only solidifies customer retention organically but transforms customers into brand advocates, powering a potent growth engine.

"Retaining current customers is 6 to 7 times less costly than acquiring new ones." - Bain & Company

Comprehensive KPIs for SUSTAIN

EXPAND

Expansion of customer spend and relationships is a lynchpin for escalating revenue and profitability. It's about nurturing vibrant, responsive relationships that adapt to evolving customer needs, prompting further investment in your solutions. Tactics such as insightful customer usage pattern analysis for upselling and cross-selling, data-driven pricing optimization, usage-based pricing models, and robust account management are vital to stimulate customer spend. A strong Net Dollar Retention (NDR) reflects your efficacy in retaining and expanding revenue from customers. Tailored cross-sell and upsell motions, and adaptive pricing and packaging strategies foster customer-centricity, nurturing deeper relationships and bolstering customer spend.



"Improving customer retention rates by 5% increases profits by 25% to 95%." - Harvard Business Review

RUN

Running a SaaS business using the LASER framework involves leveraging data and insights as the central drivers of your operational decision-making. This step harnesses the wealth of data generated throughout the customer journey, from initial interest to enduring loyalty and expansion. Such an approach equips your business with a clear dashboard for Lead Generation, Acquisition of New Customers, Sustaining Customer Relationships, Expansion of Customer Spend, and the operational execution with a solid handle on key performance indicators. This data-guided approach grants a competitive edge and charts a course for sustained success and growth. Maturity models through each of the aspects of LASER serve as your guide to comprehending the Go-To-Market (GTM) gaps and opportunities in your business, helping you devise a strategy to reach your new north star. By investing in infrastructure and expertise for effective data collection, analysis, and interpretation, you can ensure that your company is well-positioned for long-term success and growth.
