The deciding factor often boils down to one crucial element: the support of their subscribers. So, what is the role of support in SaaS and how can an outstanding support service can help you retain customers, increase referrals, and build a loyal user base?

"Firstly, retention is of paramount importance
in the SaaS business model!"

With subscription-based services, the key to success lies in keeping subscribers engaged and satisfied, which reduces churn rates and ensures a steady revenue stream. An exceptional support team can make all the difference, as users are more likely to stay with a SaaS company that offers timely and efficient assistance.

As your subscribers are happy with the level of support they receive, word-of-mouth marketing becomes incredibly effective. Happy subscribers are more likely to recommend your SaaS solution to their network, resulting in an increase in referrals and, subsequently, new subscribers. By investing in your support team, you are ultimately investing in your own growth.

A loyal subscriber base translates to long-term success for any SaaS provider. To cultivate a sense of loyalty, subscribers need to trust that your team will be there for them when they require assistance. Offering top-notch support not only resolves immediate issues, but also fosters a sense of reliability and trust in your brand, turning subscribers into loyal advocates.

"So, how does YourPCM offer great support?"

Well, it's about multiple support channels, such as phone, email, and on Zoom. This caters to the diverse preferences of our user base. We offer them a choice and by doing this, we ensure they can access the help they need in a manner that suits them best, leading to increased satisfaction. It helps to be in the same timezone, which is why we only work with UK small business owners.

And don't forget that in the SaaS flywheel scenario I spoke about recently, as good support, customer retention and subsequent referrals are all vital tools in ramping up your flywheel speed.

The role of support in the SaaS industry cannot be overstated.

Love, light & logic ...

About Steffi Lewis ...

 

Based in the charming village of Hanslope in Buckinghamshire, UK, I bring over 30 years of experience in web development. From creating my first website for the Open University in 1993, through being part of the dot com boom, to my explorations in SaaS and AI over the last few years, my journey has been a rich tapestry of web projects, big and small, both funded and bootstrapped.

Originally developed during the pandemic, at the start of 2025, I released the next iteration of YourPCM, version 2, which is all about 'Easy Contact Management for Small Business Owners'. Is it a CRM? Yes, but I don't call it that because people glaze over at the mention of such things. CRMs are boring, difficult to get to grips with, and it's a nightmare to get help when you need it. 

YourPCM is none of those things! It's simple to use, well-supported, feature rich and beautiful, right out of the box. It's available on a simple monthly subscription with no long-term tie-in. Book a demo or grab your own 14-working-day free trial and discover why YourPCM is all about easy contact management for small business owners. 

My head is in the cloud, my heart belongs to the web, and my soul is filled with such beautiful code ��
