How to Track Recurring Revenue (ARR / MRR) with HubSpot Line Items

In the pursuit of healthy revenue expansion in B2B markets, accurately tracking recurring revenue (ARR/MRR) and one-time fees is essential for achieving sustained growth. CROs, CEOs, sales leaders, finance and revenue operations teams need powerful tools to track and manage the revenue streams effectively. Integrating HubSpot CRM with Dear Lucy offers a powerful solution, providing seamless tracking and predictive sales analytics to drive informed decision-making.

The Importance of Recurring Revenue Tracking

For B2B businesses, especially SaaS companies and marketing agencies, recurring revenue is vital. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR), Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), New Business ARR/MRR, Expansion ARR/MRR, Contraction ARR/MRR, Churn Rate, Net Revenue Retention (NRR), Gross Revenue Retention (GRR), Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV), Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), and ARR/MRR Growth Rate provide essential insights into a company's financial health and growth prospects. However, accurately tracking these KPIs can be challenging without the right tools.

HubSpot CRM and Line Items

In HubSpot CRM, recurring revenue and one-time revenue items are typically managed through line items. Each line item includes critical details such as value, start date, and term. Managing these details efficiently is essential for accurate revenue tracking and reporting.
