B2B SaaS marketing terms define the metrics, strategies, and frameworks that drive successful software marketing—from customer acquisition and retention to revenue models and growth tactics. If you’ve nodded along in meetings while terms like “MRR churn,” “product-led growth,” or “expansion revenue” get thrown around without fully understanding them, you’re not alone—and it’s hurting your decision-making….

Churn rate is the percentage of customers (logo churn) or recurring revenue (revenue churn) a B2B SaaS company loses over a set period.

By Brian Shelton — Founder of GrowPredictably.com TL;DR: B2B SaaS demand generation is the system that creates and captures buyer demand and routes it to revenue, not a list of tactics or a lead-count target. Past early traction, adding more tactics stops working because the stage capping your pipeline has moved. Diagnose that one binding…
