So in theory, SMB SaaS is better than enterprise, at least 9 times out of 10: Deals close much faster. Customers don’t expect as much in terms of security, compliance, etc. Customers often can deploy on their own. There is often just 1 stakeholder to sell to. Often can avoid procurement, RFPs, and so many other headaches. Customers don’t expect you to build a feature before they buy.

Well, in addition to relying on Linux for its servers, Google has its very own Linux desktop distribution. You can't get it — darn it! — but for more than a decade, Google has been baking and eating its own homemade Linux desktop distribution.

ClinicSense is a SaaS platform that supports over 7,000 massage therapists who use it for appointment management, payments, scheduling, marketing activities and more. Despite having a relatively low payment failure rate, the company discovered that the failures disrupted the customer experience. This often led to churn as customers decided to cancel or abandon their account, preventing ClinicSense from realizing the full lifetime value (LTV) of its users.

Take 1: An ambitious account executive engages a sales prospect and hustles to sell the customer a mega contract that consumes nearly the entirety of a budget. Big commission check, high fives, president’s club, feeling fine. Nine months into the contract, the customer realizes they have over-provisioned.

Growth is arguably the most defining and sought-after trait of technology companies. Those line charts showing fast-rising user acquisition or explosive ARR have been synonymous with the industry over the past decade. However, growth is seldom linear, as is all too clear in the current economic climate. It fluctuates, plateaus, goes up and down with each new round of funding, new competitor, new technological leap – or even a global pandemic or economic downturn.
