This playbook is organized by MRR milestones. - **$0–$1K MRR**: Finding first paying customers and validating willingness to pay - **$1K–$10K MRR**: Pricing optimization and reducing early churn - **$10K–$50K MRR**: Activation funnels, expansion revenue, and hiring your first marketer - **Retention levers**: Cohort analysis, NPS-driven improvements, and re-engagement flows - **Benchmarks**: Stage-appropriate metrics so you know if you're on track ## Two Roads to $1M ARR (2026 addendum) Every path to the first $1M reduces to one of two equations β€” mixing them too early stalls both: - **Enterprise leg:** nine ~$100K accounts per year (a typical composition: $30–50K standard service + $30K implementation + $20K training) - **Self-serve leg:** five hundred $200/yr subscriptions Prove each as its own small closed loop before combining them into one forecast. ### Getting paid β€” the part growth content skips If enterprise deals enter your MRR mix, recognized revenue β‰  collected cash: - Break payment into three tranches (3:4:3 or 4:4:2 across go-live milestones), collect 30% on signature day, and put a written daily late fee (0.5%/day) in the contract. - Hold a technical bargaining chip: one or two features hosted on your own servers until the final payment clears β€” agreed openly before signing. - Escalate unpaid balances to the most senior person you've met at the account, not your usual contact. - Deal-over-deal trend to enforce: prepayment share up, tail-payment share down. ### Expansion through partners, priced correctly | Partner tier | Cut | |---|---| | Referral-only reseller | 10–20% | | Silver (>$100K/yr in sales) | 15% | | Gold (>$300K/yr in sales) | 20% | Supply partners at ~80% of list; cap their resale at 1.2x list. Before signing anyone, ask three things: what products they carried before, where their customers originate, and whether they resell or deliver services. ### Custom-work churn insurance Bespoke requests are churn risk wearing a purchase order. Two filters: only data privacy and internal-permissions integration justify private deployment β€” everything else stays on cloud (customization β†’ license; SSO-type integrations β†’ open API + docs, customer self-serves). For asks you must decline, quote high instead of saying no; the price declines for you. ## Related Gingiris Skills - Full version: https://clawhub.ai/skill/gingiris-b2b-growth - All skills: https://clawhub.ai/user/gingiris - Follow: [@WeiYipei on X](https://x.com/WeiYipei)
