To understand how to talk about your features and benefits, you must start by identifying the level of value the stakeholder needs from you. Not every stakeholder has the same interest in your features and benefits. End users will be disappointed if you decide not to share the features and benefits with them, but if you get too detailed about the day-to-day uses, you will alienate your higher-level contacts.

So That VP That Has Done it Before always cost more than the stretch VP. They ask for more salary, and a bigger team. As they should. But in the past few years, the gap has grown and grown. Recently I talked with a founder who had hired a seasoned VP of Marketing at $3m that had an 8 person content marketing team. Not an 8 person team at $3m ARR, but just 8 on content alone!

The Oxford English Dictionary offers two definitions for productivity. The first is "the state or quality of being productive." The second is the economic definition, which reads, "The effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry, as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input." This second definition is more helpful for our purposes because it includes both the input and the output.

Dear SaaStr: How Do I Reject a VC Without Spoiling the Relationship? Be (1) clear (2) and respectful. Let me use myself as a case-study.

The U.S. is on the cusp of implementing a new national privacy law, the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA). And while we may be late to the party (the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, was implemented in 2018), it’s now high time for businesses to start paying attention to data and how it impacts consumer privacy.

Want to get outbound going, for the first time? What almost never works, somewhat surprisingly, is hiring a Director of Outbound as your first outbound hire. I see many startups want to add outbound, but not really have a lot of experience. They don’t know outbound, they haven’t done it, they don’t get it. And especially, a new VP of Sales comes in without real outbound experience.

Dear SaaStr: What are Some Red Flags That Signal You Shouldn’t Take a Start-up Job? A few B2B/SaaS specific thoughts. 1. Don’t join a B2B/SaaS start-up that won’t share its revenue and current growth rate with you — and its Zero Cash Date. It’s fine if it’s pre-revenue if that’s when you want to join, or super-early, or mid-stage.

95% of B2B buyers are not ready to buy your product right now. They’re having conversations with colleagues, researching on social media, and listening to podcasts about the product or industry and learning where your brand fits in. Demand generation helps you influence buyers where they’re having those conversations and in those unattributable spaces.

Documents are the backbone of enterprise operations, but they are also a common source of inefficiency. From buried insights to manual handoffs, document-based workflows can quietly stall decision-making and drain resources.

You open up your banking app and see a strange deposit marked “ACH credit.” Are you being scammed? Can you keep the money? And do you need to do anything special to get it? Take a deep breath.

I’m stunned by how many sellers hate their customers! Sit and talk with a group of sellers talking about the past week or so. Comments like, “They are so stupid… they are clueless… they don’t know what they are doing… Turkeys!” Those comments aren’t just limited to customers. Marketing, legal, pricing, product management, managers……everyone else become subjects of our frustration.
