2. Rethinking QBRs – Beyond Outdated Metrics 
Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) have long been staples in the realm of customer interaction. However, SaaSiest Amsterdam urged attendees to question their effectiveness. A fixed point on the agenda might not be the ideal way to gauge customer satisfaction and drive long-term value.
