Actual order value 

For most companies this sales model is sufficient. That's why it's also the default. Sales figures shown in Upsales will be the sum of the product and their prices.

The Contribution Margin model (CM)

The contribution margin model shows you how much profit you're earning per product or order. The calculation is:

Purchase cost - Selling price = Contribution margin

When this model is activated a new field is added to your products called "Purchase cost". This field can have a default value and you can also change it inside your orders and opportunities.

  • Configure whether Upsales should display the CM value or actual order value across Upsales.
  • Set purchase price for your products
  • Set sales targets based on contribution margin rather than just order value

The Recurring revenue model (ARR/MRR)

This model is when you're offering subscription-based products.

  • Configure Upsales to display ARR/MRR values for your opportunities, orders and reports
  • Set up one-off and subscription-type products
  • Add a default length for your subscription products
  • Set targets for both one-off and subscription products for your teams
  • Define how to calculate your recurring revenue (option to include lost customers and contraction)

Combined ARR/MRR with CM

Combine the Recurring revenue model (ARR/MRR) with Contribution Margin (CM) to measure sales on both ARR/MRR and CM within Upsales
