Answers
If you're on a PC then Camtasia is great. - but paid for.
There are other solutions for Mac
I just use Jing. It's free. It has their branding in the corner and is hosted by them, but I don't care about that. If the screencast works and it gets the job done, our customers don't care (and have yet to complain)
It depends. Are these screencasts you are wanting to record? On the Mac, I use Quicktime these days as it is included and seems to be more stable than other solutions. You can also record using the camera on your laptop. I am not sure if you can use Quicktime to record both your screen and your camera at the same time. If you are on a PC, I believe Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 can do this.
Modern Operating Systems have built-in support for screen recording.
Windows: http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/how-use-windows-10s-screen-recording-utility
Mac: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201066
There are also more powerful standalone applications like Camtasia that are popular, but all allow you to record your screen and an audio source like your computer's microphone.
Hope this helps.

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

Should we convert our perpetual license holders to SaaS?
SaaS is the way everyone seems to be going these days, as it is a huge revenue producer for software vendors. Why make $50 once when you can instead milk someone for $10/month for life? As a holder of multiple desktop licenses for products like Quickbooks, Photoshop, etc I can say that I HATE when I am forced to go to a subscription-based model unless it comes with some very good perks. Quickbooks is using pretty brutal tactics to get everyone to switch, including disabling real-time sync with bank accounts, etc. For this reason I will probably switch to a different software vendor in the very near future. If you do decide to go to an SaaS model, make sure that you give the users a very good reason to switch and ideally give them a choice, don't force it on them. Free upgrades are petty much a given, or else what are they paying for?PR

Launching video website for power industry. Website will offer user subscriptions for $29.95/mo for access to 50+ videos. Should it be free instead?
Hi, Walter here. Assume I am your potential customer. I see your website because I am searching for related power industry information. I am in the searching stage, not ready to buy. No idea about your company reputation, nor have and idea of who you are. The Know, Like and Trust factor is missing. Hard to be your customer in the above circumstances. If you ask me to pay a subscription fee to access the information I am looking for, I will look some place else. --- Here is my answer: 1. Need to build up you and your company to your potential customers. a. Tell your Avatar, that's your target customer. your story on how and why you are solving their particular problem in a video, a free video story. b. Include a call to action in the email, mostly providing more updated information on the matter by email. So you are requesting the potential customer email (Opt-in) c. Once you received the email, send a comprehensive, value loaded email with things as: Infographic with statistics about your avatar problem and pointing toward your company on how to solve it. Add a video following up to the one on the Opt-in form where you got the email to start with. Remember it takes and average of 7 presentations for a sales conversion. So present the opportunity to take action every time you send and email along with value. You are building TRUST by stepping on the customer shoes and helping him up. So you will have to Opt-in options on all you emails out. Once to subscribe to your videos series and one for a survey to closely identify the customer problems and desires. Today's marketing is about story telling. Follow up with powerful value to them and build up you email list. There, in the mailing list is where your power is. That's you sales pipe, the communication channel to build your relation to your potential customer and convert them to customers when the Know, Like and Trust is build. My friend, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!WR

I'm starting a company this year, but I need a business idea. Preferably in the enterprise software space.
I wrote an answer to a similar question today which you can find here: https://clarity.fm/a/2877 The one flaw to your current process is this premise: "Whereas, if I focused on a good idea the whole process of driving success would be easier." This - from my experience - is simply not the case. I'm working on what I believe to be the best idea I've ever had and it has been absolutely the most challenging time I've ever had in a career full of product challenges. So a "good idea" does not make the process any easier. As I privately advised the person who asked the other similar question: I'd encourage you to define all your own pain points in your life and filter by most pain and also least addressed by existing solutions. Building what you know and what you're excited about building is the best that any of us can hope for. There's no path to greatness that isn't full of challenges ahead. Happy to do a call to discuss further.TW
