The retention number that actually matters isn't logo retention. It's account expansion. Clients who renew at the same scope are leaking value. Clients who renew at 1.5x scope are confirming the work. If nobody at your agency is expanding contracts, the work isn't deep enough.

So...what was my favorite pitch? Last week I posted about the amazing lineup of speakers Graeme Thickins pulled together for the Startup Showcase at the MinneAnalytics Data Tech event. I left my favorite presentation as a cliffhanger. Hang no more. Agent Agnes is a world-changer for SMBs. As founder Janahan Rajaratnam (Jan) explained, for the past several years, small businesses have relied on visibility in Google search to get found by prospective customers. Over the next few years, AI Agents will change that. People will no longer type "best pizza near me" into a Google search box, they'll just ask their AI agent (on their phone, smart speaker, whatever) to find it. Businesses that don't have an AI agent of their own to respond will be like companies without websites today. They'll miss opportunities they don't even know exist. Agent Agnes solves that. Go ahead, try it out (see link in comments). It literally takes about a minute. Call your Agnes Agent once you receive your phone number (note that the voice in the paid version sounds less AI-ish than the free one). Get ahead of the curve. Make sure AI agents can find your business tomorrow. #AI #agents #agenticcommerce
