    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Will leave it at this as I am too old for a flamewar. I call it as I see it. Perhaps you should also take notice of the fact that you don't seem to get much engagement from the most respected folk on this forum.

    SaaS Startup Thread, 2nd Time Entrepeneur

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    What I was trying to say is this- and this my be a kick in the teeth which I think is needed here: The definition of a prospect is a potential buyer or customer. You have yet to define a industry, target market or target customer so these are not prospects. You push prospects through the sales...

    Forgive my bluntness but what is the conversion rate from prospect to paying customer i.e. is it worthwile continuing what you are doing?

    Just to add to this, you should create a template out of your website and sell it as a minimalist startup template. I've been scouring the internet for a template such as this but never really found a suitable one.

    Hi ReubenA, I can add my 2 cts here. Basically, create content that is high value, sticky, and easy to digest. Let me break that down: - High value: The content should scratch an itch that your visitor has. This doesn't necessarily mean it should be new, unique content however the angle...

    Hi James, Thanks for the AMA. I'm currently working on bringing a SaaS product to market and would like to understand how you approached the go-to-market? What was the thought process that you went through and how did you get your first 10 customers? Nice, clean website btw!

    Job security is BS just learned it the hard way

    MINDSET 
    Exactly this. I've been invited to fast tracks, leadership programmes and lived from promotion to promotion. "IF I could only get this promotion, it will solve all my problems!" was my mantra. The only thing that _always_ happened though was that I automagically upped my expenses just before...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    You go through life creating memories and anecdotes. Adversity builds character, achievements builds confidence and fortune build humbleness. That's why "the process" is so enjoyable.

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    I agree 100% on this. Focus on providing value first. After that look at customer lifetime value (e.g. how much does the customer spend in their 'lifetime' with you/ your brand) and what you can do to increase it. If you have a low margin product but you provide it with the best possible...

    Thanks again @Austin Ogre - the question was intentionally broad so we can hit some interesting content ;-) You make some interesting points in your answer. Reading your post triggered a couple of follow-ups questions. If you won't mind, I'll post them here for us to discuss. Let's take an...

    Thanks for your thoughts @Austin Ogre - much appreciated. To make this even more valuable I will delve a little deeper. From your examples I deduce that you're heavy into data and resources which differs somewhat from my core offerings. I like the example: However how do we translate this...
