Key Takeaways & Quick Summary

  • Frictionless time-to-value (TTV) under 60 seconds is the #1 predictor of SaaS activation.
  • In-app milestone triggers convert free tier users at their point of maximum excitement.
  • Usage-based pricing aligns customer success directly with company revenue expansion.
