Grow Your B2B SaaS S1E4 - Sales Process: The importance & Best Practices With Gavin Tye
Want to sell your B2B SaaS?
Learn from Gavin Tye on how to create demand for your SaaS without selling.
A marketer does not always have a full understanding of the problem existing in their business. Any B2B SaaS business founder should first understand the specific business processes they impact directly or indirectly and figure out how to quantify them. As such, you need to demonstrate to the target audience how much it costs them and highlight the existing inefficiencies of their business processes so they can move forward. A SaaS company has to know the business processes they are solving. Who in the business is most impacted by the processes that have the authority to buy from you? Have consistent effort to test your messaging and market.
