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 is the average pre-money valuation of a enterprise/SaaS stat-up that is pre-revenue?
There is no valuation until you sell something. An idea or a company is only worth what its sales are. Once you have your initials sales, sales strategy and forecasting length (ie 9 months from first customer lead to close) then you have a formula for valuation. Valuation for start-ups is generally 3.5 x last years sales model should be the growth factor. When you are looking for investors, you will want to have atleast 9-18 months of SALES, not just pipeline and they will be looking at 5x revenue for a 3-5 year payback.TP

Is it possible to pre-sell and enterprise grade saas product without building it? Ie with design only?
Yes, I did exactly that a few years back. A friend of mien and I launched a site with minimal functionality that was really just a landing page. We offered the opportunity to pre-buy a year's subscription to the service by allowing users to set their own pricing. Within the first 24 hours of the site going live, we had enough paying customers to validate the business and inform our iterative development cycle. Ultimately, we decided it wasn't a big enough business for either of us to get really excited about but it proves that it can be done. I also did that in my current business with a landing page that generated literally thousands of leads and hundreds of very qualified customers, which resulted in paid pilot contracts before the software was fully built. Build something that people actually *need* and you'd be surprised at what they're willing to do to get early access to it. Happy to talk about it in a call in more detailTW

What's the best way to sell a SaaS prior to launching?
I was involved with a SaaS product that launched a landing page and made clear that the product was still in development, but that we would give earliest access to people who pre-paid for the product. We also allowed people to choose what they paid, and promised them that payment would stay in-effect for several months. We generated revenue the first day of posting the landing-page publicly and increased revenue month-over-month. However, we discontinued the product as it was simply not big enough of a market for us to justify continued time and energy. But I would encourage you to pursue a similar model in that it's a great way to test and validate the pain others experience for the problem and a great way to ensure you're building the product to satisfy real customers. Happy to talk this through in more detail in a callTW

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

Is it foolish to post a Kickstarter campaign for a SaaS that is primarily for businesses (not consumer oriented)?
It's not foolish, but it's going to be extremely hard to pull it off. I would consider starting with a beta program so you can have some paid clients to pay for the company's expenses. After you have some traction, you can raise a seed round.RD
