    Any B2B SaaS company must have a strong focus on customer lifetime value since it is simpler and less expensive to keep existing customers than to get new ones.

    Businesses have started to recognize the importance of acquiring customers and the fact that not all of them has the same lifetime value to the brand.  This is because   customer data have gotten more sophisticated in recent years, and the value derived from each data point has evolved. It might be as easy as changing the payment cycle from monthly to yearly, or as difficult as completely reworking existing customer service procedures, to increase B2B Customer Lifetime Value. Concentrating on CLTV shows that customers are satisfied with the brand. Since this takes time and patience, it is crucial to measure customer lifetime value over an extended period of time.
