Software companies love new customers... BUT few pay special attention to them. The most important part of getting customer success stories is making sure you have excited customers to tell that story. It’s crazy simple. It all starts with… The customer relationship. Let me define it:  It's the relationship between a customer and a business. Just like any relationship, it can be good, okay, or completely terrible. And the best way to knock it out of the park with new

I bet you dream about growth, dreams like: “If I got x more customers per month, our revenue would…” It’s exciting to think about where things could go, and how much revenue could come flooding in.  But I have to break it to you: There’s a limit. Yes, there’s a growth ceiling to a SaaS. I call it the Churn Flatline. It comes down to simple math, but it’s 100% predictable. 

“How do you maximize your revenue?”  It’s the question that everyone wishes there was an easy answer too. No, I don’t mean that as a thought-provoking chin-stroking question to ponder from the armchair.  I mean how do you actually do it? How do big businesses know the right steps - backed with data - that are going to blast them to their revenue goals and beyond? Answer:

Building a tech startup and pricing it right can feel like being lost in a jungle. You don’t know where to turn, what path is gonna get you out, and all you do is wake up in survival mode. Don’t worry, I’m here to help. I’ve personally gone through every pricing and product pivot you can imagine. Going freemium. Selling to Enterprise.

Funding. The day will come when you need it for your SaaS. You’ve grown your startup, got a brilliant team and you’ve got a great product you can actually take to investors as proof. Now it just needs that push. But before you even think about trying to fundraise or approach investors, you’ll need to know how to value your SaaS and decide on how much you should raise.

Back in 2008, Warren Buffett was approached by a struggling insurance company. He asked them to fax over their financial data to the hotel he was staying in (in Edmonton, Alberta)... Within just a few hours he was able to put together a proposal to acquire them. How did he do it?

Can we talk about your MRR for a sec? If you’re like most founders I coach inside SaaS Academy, chances are you: Obsess about growing it Overcomplicate how to do it Truth is, if you’re experiencing a plateau in your MRR, it probably has much less to do with your company’s growth potential, and everything to do with how you’re over-complicating the process of tapping into it. In this week’s episode, I cover the 6 things you can do TODAY

Some of you are gonna hate me for even saying this. Might even have some intense fist-shaking action. But it’s gotta be said. There is such a thing as having too many leads.  

If I handed you a blank check and a portfolio of five software companies and asked you to acquire one of them by the end of the day… how would you feel? Would you panic? Would you know exactly what to look for to pick a winner? Or would you go off a hunch and risk picking a dud? Evaluating a SaaS company for acquisition is a stressful and intimidating process if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

Not all leads are created equal. Even if you’ve dialed in your ideal customer profile and built out your distribution channels to only attract the perfect prospect… ...you’re still gonna have to implement systems and filters to separate your buyers from your tire kickers. This is especially true in the scaling phase where spending too much time with non-buyers will tax your sales team, inspire bad decisions with “false negatives”, and create a whole slew of crushing inefficiencies.
