for Growth
“A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Being
newly founded does not in itself make a company a
startup. Nor is it necessary for a startup to work on
technology, or take venture funding, or have some
sort of "exit." The only essential thing is growth.
Everything else we associate with startups follows
from growth.”
PAUL GRAHAM – STARTUP = GROWTH

Marketing Your SaaS Product

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Importance of growth?How is it measured?What are the constraints for growth goals?
  2. AlaGroupon, pets.com.First, when a business is impatient for profit, managers are forced to validate their assumptions and demonstrate that customers are fundamentally willing to pay an acceptable price for the company's offering.Secondly, expecting a business to be profitable quickly forces it to keep its fixed costs low. Because a business's cost structure determines which customers it finds profitable, keeping these fixed costs low preserves strategic options for the company when it is choosing which customers to target.Finally, reaching profitability quickly ensures that when outside financing dries up, the venture can succeed on its own.
  3. For one company, pick how you’d measure growth, and the first thing you’d do to try to drive it.
  4. What do you measure? How often?What do you stack it up against?How do you compare yourself to your peers and competitors?What happens when you hit your goal?… when you miss it?
  5. Break into teams and design what their group’s monthly report is going to look like.
  6. From raw counts to weighted counts, from volume to quality
  7. Persona-based marketing
  8. Pick a company, create a smarketingsla
  9. Putting it all together
