SaaS Marketing | SaaS Customer Aligment Ebook!

SaaS Marketing | SaaS Customer Aligment Ebook!

By Joel York on November 18, 2015

When your SaaS business is well aligned, your SaaS customers consistently take positive actions that lead to positive business outcomes: they try, they buy, they upgrade and they refer you to a friend. When you are poorly aligned, your SaaS customers consistently take negative actions that lead to negative business outcomes: they bounce, they negotiate, […]

The Missed Opportunity of Agile SaaS

The Missed Opportunity of Agile SaaS

By Joel York on October 13, 2015

As the launch date approaches for Markodojo, my agile marketing SaaS startup, I’ve been thinking a lot about how my SaaS experiences have shaped my thinking on agile management, and visa versa. SaaS and agile present complementary aspects that enable a uniquely symbiotic relationship. Agile aims to help businesses increase responsiveness to customer needs, while […]

Finding SaaS Product-Market Fit

Finding SaaS Product-Market Fit

By Joel York on September 22, 2015

Finding product-market fit is a central, early stage challenge of every startup. SaaS startups, however, have unique advantages. Unlike consumer Internet products, SaaS products are essential business tools. SaaS customers take them very seriously. SaaS customers want to provide feedback and they want to see that feedback acted upon in a timely fashion. In other […]

Aligning SaaS Customer Success

Aligning SaaS Customer Success

By Joel York on August 18, 2015

SaaS businesses develop intimate, long term relationships with their SaaS customers. Keeping that relationship positive and aligned over the years is a real challenge. In fact, many public SaaS companies have yet to turn a profit. If they don’t keep their customers around for years, then all that capital invested in customer acquisition will have […]

This is a topic I have felt very passionate about over the years and was glad that Bill Kutik gave Luke Marson and I an opportunity to share our thoughts.     Would love to hear your thoughts as a customer, vendor or consulting firm on your experiences. (Cross-posted @ SCN)

Aligning SaaS Customer Acquisition

Aligning SaaS Customer Acquisition

By Joel York on July 21, 2015

SaaS businesses can be overwhelmingly complex. If the multi-tenant, cloud-based technology isn’t enough, there’s the recurring revenue model which creates all kinds of challenges from accounting to sales compensation to funding. Then, there’s the marketing. Getting noticed on the Internet gets harder every year and almost every SaaS product category has a crowded field of […]

“Everyone’s Freaking Out About Quarterly Quotas”

“Everyone’s Freaking Out About Quarterly Quotas”

By Jason M. Lemkin on June 5, 2015

In SaaS companies in the very wide band from ~$1m to $40m ARR or so, the debate over Quarterly vs. Monthly Quotas comes up all the time. And it especially comes up when you hire your First VP of Sales, because odds are, he or she will want to move from Monthly to Quarterly Quotas. And […]

We All Get To Our First 50 Customers Our Own Way. Then It’s All The Same.

By Jason M. Lemkin on April 29, 2015

Recently I was fortunate enough to moderate the founders panel at BoxDev ’15.   We had 5 great founder-CEOs on the panel, all post-Initial Traction (all 50+ employees), but with very diverse backgrounds and stories. Everyone got to $1m in ARR a different way.  Some were first timers,  several were second timers.  I don’t think […]

It’s time to reconsider, Google

It’s time to reconsider, Google

By Paul Miller on March 19, 2015

Almost a year ago, Google made an apparently small change to Google Calendar. They started automatically adding Google Hangout video links to every new appointment. And it was bad. I’m sure you’ve all seen appointments like this pop up in your calendar. How do you join the meeting? Do you dial the phone number, or […]

5 Tips to Grow 10-20% Faster Than Plan in ’15

By Jason M. Lemkin on March 17, 2015

It’s time to do a series of posts on SaaSt to sort of … kick your arse a bit.  What I mean by that, is that no matter how well you are doing post-Initial Traction in SaaS … you can almost always do at least 10-15% better.  Pretty much almost always.  Because there’s almost always more […]

Negative Churn

Negative Churn

By Derek Pilling on March 4, 2015

In a board meeting yesterday, we had a brief discussion around “negative churn”. Negative churn is a catchy phrase and apparently a hot-topic in some SaaS circles. I like some of the concepts and disciplines that an understanding of negative churn implies, but I also think it is an unnecessary concept that actually makes it […]
