Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur

After our previous episode, Sujan causally mentioned that he would love to talk further about growing bCast...I jumped at the chance and asked Sujan if he would be happy to record them: he was.We didn't speak about it again until we jumped on another call to record... I think Sujan did approx. 5 minutes of research before. He then proceeded to brain dump 4 MASSIVE growth strategies for bCast: Focus on features that help existing customers GROW 10x SEO volume Pure backlink hustle Get to know the influencesWe could have gone on for another 30 minutes, but we only had 30 minutes to record.Each of these have been put into practice since we recorded approx. a week ago and I will update you with how we do right here on this blog. We may even bring Sujan back on in 6-12 months to debrief on progress.Check out:Sujan's blogSujan's TwitterMailshakeAlso... thanks for reading/listening and of course... if you jump over to Apple and leave a review... always, if you can leave a review I will get you and your business a shout out on the show!This episode is brought to you by Ahrefs super, freaking, awesome, free Webmaster Tools.You can:Monitor the health of your siteCheck for backlinksSee which keywords are working for youBy simply signing up here.(+9026 people signed up in the past 7 days!)(Originally posted here: https://saasmarketer.io/ep-015-sujan-patel-shares-4-saas-growth-strategies-for-bcast)Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur is handcrafted by our friends over at: fame.soCheck out our five most downloaded episodes:How To Start A Movement with David Heinemeier Hansson of 37signalsChris Walker Rants On Dark Social, Creating Demand & Company BuildingCEO Spends 70% Of Time On His Personal Brand?

AJ had a problem.People were signing up for his Gmail SaaS product: GMass, but a big segment of them didn’t know what to do.The hard part had been done… he had convinced people to invest their time and money into his tool. They just got lost after sign up.So what did he do?Built what I believe to be one of the smoothest onboarding flows in the history of SaaS.He takes the users through the process of building a mail merge in their Gmail inbox… and then actually sends it to test email addresses.His users now understand what they need to do AND more importantly, have the belief that they can do it (as they were just guided through the process).They can also now see the value of the tool as the evidence is left right there in their inbox.I first wrote about this here approximately a year ago… and just had to bring Ajay on to the show to learn more about:Why he built this flowThe impact this flow hadHow GMass has grown to over $130k MRRAnyway… thanks for reading/listening and as always, if you can leave a review for the podcast on Apple I will get you and your business a shout out on the show!Originally published here.Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur is handcrafted by our friends over at: fame.soCheck out our five most downloaded episodes:How To Start A Movement with David Heinemeier Hansson of 37signalsChris Walker Rants On Dark Social, Creating Demand & Company BuildingCEO Spends 70% Of Time On His Personal Brand?
