Second-timers know the playbook and can execute against it faster. But often times, they also have a bit of healthy skepticism, a bit of baggage, from the last time. First-timers often know very little, but are baggage free. That can be very powerful. I’ve had a chance to watch a whole cohort of SaaS first-time founders go from $1m to $10m ARR in 5 quarters or less (more on that here ) and just been awestruck by how much better than me they are as founders, and how much better they̵

Guest post by Caroline Tien-Spalding CMO at Aptology. As of this writing, there are over 211,000 jobs on Indeed in the category of “product marketing.” On the flip side, there are only 19,000 jobs under the “demand generation” category. How can it be that the need for marketing a product can be so much higher than pipeline creation and lead gen? .
