📦 What’s Inside the SaaS Onboarding Dashboard in Google Sheets
Page 1: Overview
The Overview page displays 4 KPI cards (Total MRR, Total Signups, Activated Users, Churn Rate) alongside 4 charts: MRR by Plan, Status Distribution, Signups by Channel, and Monthly MRR by Plan. Slicers at the top let you filter the entire page by any dimension instantly.
Page 2: Acquisition
The Acquisition page tracks how users are coming in and what they are worth. Charts include Signups & MRR per Month, Signups by Industry, MRR by Country, and Signups by Channel & Plan — giving your marketing and sales teams a clear view of channel ROI and geographic performance.
Page 3: Onboarding
The Onboarding page measures how effectively new users reach activation. Charts cover Users Activated by Company Size, Monthly Activations, Users Managed per CSM, and Onboarding Status by Plan — helping customer success teams spot bottlenecks and balance workloads.
Page 4: Retention
The Retention page surfaces churn risk before revenue walks out the door. Charts show Churn Risk Distribution by Plan, Churned MRR by Plan, Industry Churn Risk Profile, and Monthly MRR by Churn Risk — enabling proactive intervention by CSMs and account managers.
Search Sheet
