Tips to Optimize and Grow Your Average Revenue Per User

In 2009, my mentor Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot) sat in my office in San Francisco and casually dropped an acronym I hadn’t heard.
“We want to increase our ARPU ”, he said.
I smiled and nodded… but the blank stare on my face was a giveaway.
I was clueless.
When someone as abundantly successful as the co-founder of a company now valued at over $14B (Yes, B for BILLION) mentions what his company is trying to do…
You take notes.
Since that day, ARPU has become one of my key SaaS growth metrics that I insist on calculating with my clients.
Then, once you know it… you’ve got to grow it!
So in today’s video, I’m going to explain what ARPU is, how you track it and how to improve it.
Watch it below. Your profit margins will thank you.

You already know I’m pumped about SaaS metrics.
I don’t follow sports.
I follow numbers and work with SaaS founders like you to get true visibility about what is and is not working in a tech business… and then how to DO something about it.
You don’t have to love it as much as I do.
But you’ve got to know what these metrics mean.
