How I Fix Stalled MRR

The 4-step intervention I use when monthly recurring revenue flatlines.

Diagnose before you discount

When MRR stalls, most founders cut prices. I start with diagnostics: churn by cohort, win-rate by segment, activation by channel.

Double down on the sharpest segment

I temporarily ignore everyone except the segment with the highest retention. Every message and feature prioritization serves them first.

Run three parallel experiments

One pricing test, one onboarding tweak, and one outbound script variation. Each runs for 10 business days with a clear success metric.

Move success stories forward

I ask the happiest customers for a 15-minute call and one quote. That social proof fuels outbound and landing pages within 24 hours.

Protect the cash runway

No experiment should risk cash flow. I set a weekly guardrail on paid spend and review it every Friday.
