@TK Kader I have seen countless videos on this subject, but I must say - this video did not get enough views! finally a video which actually makes sense and really clear about what it tries to explain. bravo! I am tired of listening to all types of self-proclaimed "SaaS gurus" who are wasting my time and don't even know what they are talking about, TK you def. talk business and to the point.. what an amazing video! thanks for the invaluable content.
SO glad to hear you’re getting value from the channel! Be sure to share it with a friend ;) I do these videos because I've operated companies for 15+ years and want to share my learnings.
Thank you for a such detailed walkthrough, very insightful. My biggest money-worth moment is: Instead of selling to a "company", get a layer deeper and think WHO you are actually selling to. What's the department they are in, what is their incentive, how do they acquire budget, what's possible and reasonable for them to invest into software. If I were to add to it: It's essential to communicate those marketing research points with the team, as they need to be on the same page with you, especially UI/UX department. Accurate and well thought out user experience in the SaaS product can greatly add value to it. After all, the goal is to solve an existing problem without creating too many new ones haha
@@TKKader Do you have any insight on how B2B company departments budgets change pre or during a recession period? Ex. R&D would be the 1st cuts in a recession per my experience. This would help recalibrate based on macro-economics?
TK my man !!awesome tutorial I have a Ad Agency where we are using saas for my Ad Agency to obtain a soft entry with my future tree client customers and then it transitions into generating leads for them I'm also learning how to build my business credit and as I'm watching your tutorial I said to myself that the right web funnels, marketing, nurturing leads,and emails Etc that I now have a opportunity to have a saas business in the near future and I am all about multiple Avenues of Revenue looking forward to your tutorials Etc thank you so very very much great job- Luigi
Awesome and valuable content. I know this is a department most commonly taken least for consideration, but what's your thoughts on targeting the IT department? Thank you.
@@TKKader i actually did recently, so have that box checked. It's not like "new" new but it's a startup about 4 years old, bootstrapped, I'm like the 20th employee. Any advice on making the most of it?
Thanks TK. Do you have any thoughts on API-only/API-first SaaS businesses? Essentially providing a headless service so that developers can easily integrate capabilities into their custom-built or omnichannel systems.
I’m a big fan of those. Marketing to developers is a slightly different game than business users but huge upside on product led growth when you get it to work.
@@TKKader Only recently started watching your videos, and yes, I was thinking that a lot of the marketing & customer acquisition tips might not be as relevant when the main customers are developers or software architects. It would be great if you could share any specific tips for this audience, or perhaps its an idea for a future video.
Great video! One comment from me. There is a forth vertical - automation that is so new and very hard to sell but once you sell it is as sticky as record vertical! :-)
@@TKKader fantastic content though. Learnt a lot. It's criminal to have such high value education that you provide here for free. May God bless you brother!
@@TKKader Over the last decade, we have gone from spreadsheets to project management and work management platforms to manage work. As we now transition to hybrid working models, one could assume a new type of work management platform is required to facilitate this shift. Essentially, the next evolution. I guess do you share the same sentiment, and do you have any ideas on what the new system looks like based on your experience?
@@astonwatches5393 Absolutely. I think there is a whole category of SaaS products around the "future of work" -- especially as we shift back to in office and working from home. The future is bright and there will be all kinds of collaboration tools in this space.
You should take a look at how @Zoho works when it comes to marketing and TOFU, believe in R&D and our budgets are are almost minuscule and yet we are 1 Billion dollar Indian company.
Zero people I know use Zoho. And I see their ADs everywhere. Which tells me its probably not that minuscule. And that they’re likely serving a different segment of the market than the one I focus on.
Maybe your circle is limited then ?!? I guess . Sure you see adds , it's not like we absolutely stay away, however our add revenue and add spend is quite organic and miniscule compared to industry standards. We are more an r&d focused company, and that's how we do fall to mass lay offs when the bubble pops. Our Ethos and philosophy to marketing is quite organic in philosophy. And yes , our market segment is quite focused . I do enjoy your user educational content from your selection of your UA-cam videos . Regards .

Pumped for you!
you've earned it this time!
🙏🏼
Would I be correct in saying that a training saas would fall under engagement? Or is it one in its own?
Depends on the feature set.
Thanks for making this video and how to approach to these companies people
Glad to hear you’re enjoying this!
@@TKKader welcome ❤️ bro but I want to know how to approach people of the companies
Awesome and valuable content. I know this is a department most commonly taken least for consideration, but what's your thoughts on targeting the IT department? Thank you.
Very crowded. But if you can differentiate then it’s gold!
@@TKKader Makes sense. Thank you TK.
Great video! I would love some timestamps so I can come back to this video and find what I'm looking for.
Great helicopter view framework! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed this!
This was extremely valuable content thank you 🙏
Glad you got value!
Do these departments apply to the health sector? Say I want to build a SAAS tool for hospitals, what would those departments look like?
I'm at the point where i just want to get started, like point me in the direction, give me a product to sell etc. I'm exhausted
Join an early stage company!
@@TKKader i actually did recently, so have that box checked. It's not like "new" new but it's a startup about 4 years old, bootstrapped, I'm like the 20th employee. Any advice on making the most of it?

great

Yes

amazing video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Any ideas for work management platforms TK?
🤷♂️can you be more specific in your question?
@@TKKader Over the last decade, we have gone from spreadsheets to project management and work management platforms to manage work.
