Time-to-Value (TTV)
The time it takes for a new customer to realize their first meaningful outcome or ROI from your product after purchase.
What is Time-to-Value?
Time-to-Value (TTV) measures the elapsed time between a customer's purchase and their first meaningful outcome with your product. A shorter TTV correlates strongly with higher retention rates and customer satisfaction.
Types of Time-to-Value
- Time to basic value — First successful use of a core feature
- Time to full value — Achieving the primary business outcome they purchased for
- Time to exceeded value — Discovering value beyond the original use case
Benchmarks
