With Slack’s IPO data and financials finally public, what is left to know about the app we all use and have been reading about for years? What’s interesting to know about Slack … that we didn’t already know? ??. Slack is obviously a rocketship going from $0 to ~$600m+ ARR (!) in 5 years (OMG), growing 80%+ Year-over-Year, and more than 1 billion messages sent a week (!).

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) marketers are among the world’s most talented. They need to be. The pressure to acquire and retain users is high—to put it mildly. And when you’re a funded startup with investor pressure, as many are, this need to grow and sustain velocity can be yet more acute. After all, SaaS has a unique character. As technical infrastructure gets standardized and integrations become easier, more and more tools are entering an already crowded marketplace.

Practical Advice on SaaS marketing
MAY 1, 2019
Let me give this to you straight: Nobody really cares about your SaaS solution. They don’t care how it’s built. They don’t want to see a demo. And they don’t want to talk to you about it. At least not yet. No one has any interest in your solution… until they see that they have a problem and they suspect you may be able to solve it. An obvious, but too common mistake I know this sounds harsh and painfully obvious.

A few signs: Lack of organization. You can get to $5m being only sort of organized. After that, you gotta get really organized. Either by yourself, or with a Sales Ops / Marketing Ops / Some Sort of Ops leader under you. Look for dashboards, strong project management, strong pipeline projection after $5m ARR. If you don’t see things getting more organized, that manager can’t scale.

In the early days, there are probably only 5 metrics that really matter: ARR. ARR Growth Rate. Burn Rate. Probably, NPS (more here: I Was Wrong. NPS is A Great Core Metric. | SaaStr ). And maybe … net revenue retention / churn. All the rest, maybe don’t obsess too much until you are bigger. What matters in the early days is: Do you have product-market fit?

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.

Every product design project is a bit like climbing a hill. You ascend the hill to gain perspective on the surrounding terrain, but you don’t know what’s on the other side – you’re figuring out how to approach the problem, and you uncover and resolve the unknowns. Once on top of the hill you have a clear view – you can see the shape of the landscape and make out the path down, you can picture what needs to be done to make progress.

Leads… Leads = customers = profits. If you are asking yourself, “Why does my business-to-business (B2B) SaaS company need leads?” then you are in the wrong industry. Maybe you should take up a career as a postal worker, or any other vocation in which you do not need to be on a perpetual hunting excursion for qualified leads. In the same notion that money doesn’t grow on trees, leads need to be chased down, tackled, and persuaded to convert themselves to customers.

I. often talk about B2B SaaS metrics from the perspective of what investors want. If you don’t have easy access to the metrics they expect (or, worse, if they’re wrong), your valuation could suffer and that’s the last thing SaaS founders, CEOs and CFOs want to hear. But on occasion, I’ll hear prospects say they don’t need SaaS metrics because they’re not raising capital yet.
