MenuHow do I position and market a supply chain analytics Saas product for small businesses?
I am currently doing supply chain consulting and analytics services for small businesses. I want to start a saas tool for a monthly subscription.
Any idea how to market for this type of product?
Answers
I can assist you in putting together a plan to build, market, and sell your new supply chain Saas tool. I would need some more specific before I can advise you on your best next steps.
There are many saas platforms on the internet. Why do you stand out from others. You will find answers on this platform but what no one will tell you is how to defeat the competition. It is true that my consulting services are available to you, but I would like to help you guide your product and create new users.
Call me today or contact me, don't waste your time with second-rate services.

if you can tell the job title of the of the user of this product and name of a company that will ideally be a best fit to buy this product, i can help you with tips to market this tool
If you're looking for a fast and affordable solution, I recommend using web and social media monitoring tools. Search for your competitors’ names and the keywords your potential customers might use to address the problem your SaaS is designed to solve.
This approach allows you to discover real-time conversations or questions your target audience is asking, giving you the opportunity to join those discussions and promote your SaaS directly.
There are many listening tools available, but I suggest trying Mentionmind https://mentionmind.com , because it offers unlimited keywords and topics for monitoring.

A tech startup fully outsourced. What problems would be in this situation?
The ideal way would be to hire the engineer while the project is still under development. You and the engineer should follow up with the outsourced partner in the process. This will give hold to the engineer and later more staff can be trained in upgrading or follow on versions of the product/service.Sunil MayreddySM

Business partner I want to bring on will invest more money than me, but will be less involved in operations, how do I split the company?
Cash money should be treated separately than sweat equity. There are practical reasons for this namely that sweat equity should always be granted in conjunction with a vesting agreement (standard in tech is 4 year but in other sectors, 3 is often the standard) but that cash money should not be subjected to vesting. Typically, if you're at the idea stage, the valuation of the actual cash going in (again for software) is anywhere between $300,000 and $1m (pre-money). If you're operating in any other type of industry, valuations would be much lower at the earliest stage. The best way to calculate sweat equity (in my experience) is to use this calculator as a guide: http://foundrs.com/. If you message me privately (via Clarity) with some more info on what the business is, I can tell you whether I would be helpful to you in a call.Tom WilliamsTW

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.Jorge ColonJC

What is the ideal percentage of revenue you should apply to a marketing budget for a new business?
I think differently about this, because of two reasons: 1) I've always (and only) been involved in bootstrapped startups; and 2) I've been lucky that those startups grew organically and fast (enough) which minimized our need on marketing spend. Instead of deciding on a specific budget for this, I would instead look at your current priorities (in terms of budgeting and re-investment into your team): 1. Build a great team. 2. Build a great product. 3. Craft incredible customer experiences. 4. Spend money on marketing. If you've already hit all 3 top priorities and you can't reinvest any further into those, then you should start spending money on marketing. If you don't have revenues today and you are hoping to generate revenues through marketing spend, you're on slippery slope (says the bootstrapper). Whilst not wrong, this is tricky and you'd need to take a realistic look at your customer acquisition cost (CAC) and how much you can invest into acquiring new customers.Adii PienaarAP
