SaaS - Enterprise & SMB B2B: What is a best practice roadmap to setting up a SaaS company?
SN
SN
Shaun Nestor, Content Marketing Advisor & Agency Consultant answered:

"What type of car should I buy?"

As you can imagine, the answer to this question is highly dependent upon a number of factors.

Similarly, you're asking some very specific questions. I anticipate that a number of experts here would love to help you with answering with specific questions -- but those answers are highly dependent upon your unique needs.

That said, for many experts, this type of consulting is their livelihood and should be compensated.

The advice you will get for free is likely to be very general and may not suit the specific needs and targets of your company.

In general, your roadmap will concurrently address your funding, customer acquisition, development, and growth opportunities. It is best to have "poor, good, better, best" targets and contingencies in each of these categories. Lastly, your metrics and KPIs are uniquely dependent upon the objectives of your business. For example, a well-funded operation has very different KPIs and metrics than a boot-strapped enterprise. One is not better than the other, but the characteristics of the operation dictate these types of measurables.

I, along with many others on this forum, would be happy to discuss specifics with you. All you need to do is book an appointment for a call.

All the best,
-Shaun
