About This Conversation

Revenue leakage takes many forms — customers underbilled, discounts that never reverted, usage overages that slipped through, multi-year contracts with price escalations that never triggered. 

At $50M ARR, even a 2% leakage rate is $1M left on the table every year. Most teams don't find out until an audit. 

In this fireside chat, Ben Murray and Apurv Bansal will have a candid conversation about why this keeps happening, what AI actually makes possible, and what separates teams that catch it early from those that don't. Between them, they've worked with or spoken to thousands of SaaS finance teams on exactly this problem.

What You'll Learn

  • Why 2–5% of ARR leaks silently, and why most teams only find out during an audit
  • Why spreadsheet reconciliations and spot-checks keep missing the same long-tail errors
  • How AI spots abnormal billing patterns across every customer
  • Which use cases deliver the fastest wins: usage overages, expired discounts, failed payments, and missed escalations
  • What you actually need in place to get started, without a data team or a big-bang implementation

FAQs

Will this be recorded?
Yes. All registrants receive the recording within 24 hours, whether or not they attend live.

Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Absolutely. There's a dedicated live Q&A session plus an active chat running throughout.

Will I be pitched to?
This is educational content focused on solving your revenue leakage problem. There will be no Zenskar pitch on the webinar.

What company size is this relevant for?
Most relevant for SaaS companies between $5M–$100M ARR, particularly those with usage-based, ramp, multi-year, or hybrid pricing models.

Do I need a technical background?
Not at all. This is built for finance leaders, not engineers.

We already use Stripe / Chargebee. Does this apply to us?
Yes. Most of the teams Ben and Apurv will reference use exactly these tools. The leakage they'll discuss happens in the gaps between billing systems, CRMs, and contracts — not because of any one tool.
