Is your business model subscription-based?

Nowadays, there are softwares that can make your management work easier. A subscription business model is a current trend for selling products and services.

A clear example that has endured for years is the business of consumer insurance products.

Among the main advantages of using a subscription-based business model are the following:

  • Recurring billing generates predictable revenues.
  • Reduction of the dropout rate
  • Easy to cross-sell
