Q: What are the biggest mistakes first time founders make after $50K MRR in SaaS? A partial list of the ones I see all the time (and mistakes I made myself): Not having a VP/Head of Marketing in place. $50k in MRR is plenty “late” to have someone spending 50+ hours a week just getting you more leads and managing the leads you do have better. What if at even just $50k MRR, you had a head of marketing that go you just 20% more leads?

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.

Before I can make any predictions for 2020, let's start with these ten simple truths about selling for proper context. ONE: Selling is not as difficult or as simple as many would have you understand. TWO: While there are certainly nuances that influence how selling changes based on the target audience and complexity, selling is essentially the same whether it is technology, pharmaceuticals, capital equipment, financial services, cars, components, accounting or any of 200 other industries.

Q: What are the biggest mistakes new founders make when they start a business? My list: Not budgeting 24 months to get to a viable business. Most founders assume 6–8–12 months is enough. It almost never is, especially in B2B/SaaS. It almost always takes 24 months from “go”, or longer, to build a real business in SaaS.

As usual, I’ve stuck my nose into some on-line discussions. This time, the discussion started on “creating value,” and devolved into a discussion of discounting. Bob Apollo kicked off the discussion with the premise: Discounting is a sign of failure. It’s something I wholeheartedly agree with. Without meaning to repeat Bob’s post, discounting comes as a result of our inability to get the customer to understand the value that we provide and create.
