Two recent studies measured ROI for social media versus email, and they appear to contradict each other. One said social media was first and email second for ROI, and the other said the opposite. Who’s right? I don’t know. But I know it’s the wrong question because email and social media don’t play the same roles. Much of the difference comes down to capturing, measuring and acting on intent.

Imagine if you could close a deal based on every presentation. Wouldn’t that be great? Unfortunately, not even the best salesperson closes 100% of the time. That being said, many salespeople are letting potential deals pass them by without realizing it, allowing prospects that should have become customers spend their money elsewhere. Salespeople lose deals for reasons that are typically easy to identify, including price, features, or timing.

Q: Dear SaaStr: Can We Add Termination Charges for SaaS services? Some older companies do this. In fact, we were recently handed a bill like this for a 20+ year old SaaS product bought out by a PE firm. And really, an “auto-renew for another year without notice” clause can basically do the same thing. Threatening a customer that forgets about an auto-renew and has already stopped using you is sort of the same thing.
