How to Adapt to Thrive for SaaS Companies with Michele Don Durbin

Technology is constantly adapting, and that means that tech-based companies must adapt along with it. 

SaaS companies especially need to stay current, or else they’ll easily become stagnant. 

If a business isn’t on the cutting edge, its customers will look elsewhere. 

Michele Don Durbin has walked through the process of adaptation with the company Evernote, where she is the Senior Vice President of Marketing. 

In this episode, Michele shares how Evernote adapted to changing technology, why you have to prioritize your audience, and how to make the most of your market.
