The landscape of software as a service (SaaS) has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. I’ve watched as businesses increasingly gravitate toward self-service models, driven by the need for efficiency and flexibility. This shift isn’t just a trend; it’s a response to the evolving expectations of customers who want control over their software experiences. Gone are the days when...

Diving into the SaaS sales model feels like stepping into a world where subscription reigns supreme. Unlike traditional software sales, where a one-time purchase often seals the deal, SaaS operates on a recurring revenue basis. This means that I’m not just selling a product; I’m selling an ongoing relationship with my customers. Each month or year, they renew their subscription, and that creates...

When I think about the journey of building a SaaS startup, two paths often come to mind: bootstrapping and venture capital (VC) funding.

Scaling customer support in a SaaS company is no small feat. As I navigate through the complexities of this landscape, I often find myself grappling with the unique challenges that arise as a business grows. One of the most pressing issues is the sheer volume of inquiries that can flood in as a company expands its user base. When I think about it, it’s like trying to fill a bathtub with a garden...

When I first delved into the world of SaaS, one concept that stood out was Customer Lifetime Value, or CLV. It’s not just a metric; it’s a lens through which I can view the entire customer journey. CLV represents the total revenue I can expect from a single customer throughout their relationship with my business. Understanding this value is crucial because it informs my decisions on how much I...

User feedback is the lifeblood of any SaaS company. When I think about the times I’ve seen businesses falter, one common thread emerges: they simply ignore what their users are saying. It’s astonishing how many companies overlook the insights that come directly from their customers. I’ve been in meetings where the team discusses product features and roadmaps, yet the voices of actual users are...
