MenuHow do you solve the 'education' problem for enterprise B2B products and create demand?
Answers
From an overall messaging standpoint, you need to figure out how to tie in your messaging around the problem that they don't know they have to messaging around problems that they *do* know they have. Your product is likely not just solving one problem, but others by extension as well. In other words, expand your value proposition. For example, I do marketing for HubSpot, which sells an all-in-one marketing software. But not everyone who would be a good fit for our software goes out and searches for "all-in-one marketing platform" because they don't know that that's what they need. But they *do* search for "how to save time on my marketing," "how to make my marketing easier," etc. which are also problems that our software helps solve. So the trick is to go after both the long-tail keywords that are very closely relevant to your product, which will have a lower-volume audience, and to also target your messaging to resonate with folks at a level maybe once or twice removed from your specific value proposition.
Another best practice here is to get really good at content marketing. Make a video that your audience will want to share with others. Write some killer blog posts. Do some guest blogging on sites that are popular among your target audience - what blogs do these enterprise buyers skim every morning with their coffee? Having exciting, useful, and relevant content, and getting it in front of the decision makers of the companies you're looking to sell to, is what's ultimately going to get you noticed.
Happy to share more of my experiences marketing & selling a sophisticated B2B product if you'd like to discuss further.
Identify your target demographic. Anticipate their online search behavior. Be where they go.
This can be done effectively with a mixture SEM and domain strategy. Focused ad placement within published websites and forums may also be a good -- if more labor-intensive -- solution.
Great, this article actually quite fascinating. I need to say that when I need some assistance with paper work I go to this folks https://www.dissertation-service.org/. They are genuine experts.
So simple I think education doesn't need to create a demand...
If Enterpreneur creates a demand for their products they choose like big personalities like Actors, cricketer s or any world level events like games etc... This is better option for big Enterpreneur because today's world is branding world....
Medium Enterpreneur choose district level or state level branding like games competition or other governing events....
Small Enterpreneur may be choose that shop which are famous in locals they tell to him please sell my products they earn only from 30-40%...
So Enterpreneur choose how to adopt like method this is only on thinking...

What are some tried-and-true metrics for enterprise/ARR-based SaaS companies?
In my experience, the longer sales cycle requires more attention. The metrics will be unique to your business, but you can't go wrong with these: Marketing & Sales Metrics Look at metrics that will help you scale and project growth, and then accelerate opportunity to close velocity #s and conversion rates of marketing qualified leads (MQLs) #s, time, and conversion rates of MQLs to sales qualified leads (SQLs) #s, time, and conversion rates of SQLs to opportunities #s, time, and conversion rates of opportunities to sales Customer Success Metrics An ARR SaaS business may have a guaranteed 12 month customer lifespan, but that doesn't guarantee the customer actually uses the product and won't churn at renewal time. Measuring product usage will help you discover patterns that cause churn, increase the perceived value of the product, and improve the customer experience. Financial Metrics Each Reporting Period (I'd recommend monthly) look at Values & Rate of Change Customer Acquisition Cost Average Value of a Customer look at Values, % of total, & Rate of Change Revenue from New Subscriptions Revenue from Renewal Subscriptions At the early stage, businesses will see new Subscriptions significantly outpace renewals. As the business matures, the % of total ARR from New Subscriptions will begin to decline, assuming churn rates are good.RE

How do you build a MVP for an innovative tech b2b product? We would need good amount of funding to build a decent MVP and show businesses.
The idea of an MVP is 'minimum, viable' ... If you feel you need a "good amount" of funding, I would challenge if you are minimum enough. Obviously, without knowing the details of your product, your ideal customer, or what need you will solve, it is hard to help expose what is necessary in an MVP and what is a Phase II or Phase III feature. I am happy to help you work through this, or answer specific questions, to get you rolling. Just book a call with some times that will work for you. Regardless, I would love to know more about it and how it goes after launch. To your success, -ShaunSN

Are there standard ratios that are used to calculate first level support staff needed for a SAAS product that is a non-technical product?
Hi. I'm a Business Intelligence consultant with most of my customers being call centers. There are definitely guidelines you can apply but it will be based on several factors. Your question references ratios, which I assume means you would like to know how many agents per customer. That number will vary greatly depending on a number of other factors including: -what is your ASA target (Average speed of answer)? -what percentage of calls should meet the ASA? -are their penalties below a certain threshold (if less than 80% of calls meet ASA in 24 hours, for example) -how long are calls waiting when they don't meet ASA? -what is the call distribution by day of week, time of day and holiday v. non-holiday. -what is the average call duration? -what is the % of calls requiring escalation or call back versus calls resolved on first contact? To simplify it though, the two most important (IMO) will be call volume and your target for ASA (assuming you aren't answering then putting them back on hold, etc). To simplify though, the top 3 are: ASA, Call length and call volume. Regardless of the size of customer base. A good reporting system that combines live metrics and daily/weekly/monthly analysis will help a great deal. Feel free to set up a call if you'd like to talk about this in more detail.RL

What are the SaaS B2B expectations when paying annually - annual paid annually or annual paid monthly? Is a discount necessary (i.e. 20%)?
Most Software as a service vendors generally don't book annual deals except in highly specialized cases. Most customers prefer to be able to cancel/change anytime they choose. Also, deals done "offline" end up actually often being more trouble than they are worth to administrate especially for a $2988 ticket. Generally, companies don't view prepaying for SaaS products a year in advance as a "convenience" (to them) so if the debate is internal (not customer driven), I'd set this debate aside until it's requested by the customer. Most customers will request a discount to pre-pay annual service. Happy to talk this through with you in a call, to work through the specifics of your situation in more detail.TW
