What's different about SaaS account planning
Annual renewals create rhythm. Plans align with renewal cycles.
Product usage data is rich. Adoption, engagement, and feature usage become inputs to the plan.
Expansion is the engine. SaaS NRR depends on expansion, not just retention.
Land and expand motion. Most accounts start small. Plans focus on growth pathways.
Buying committees are smaller for mid-market SaaS but still meaningful at enterprise.
