Direct Sales Flywheel Success
A direct sales flywheel is vital for scaling a SaaS business effectively. By implementing a structured approach, significant growth can be achieved, as evidenced by the host's experience of increasing monthly recurring revenue (MRR) from $2,000 to $100,000 within two years.
