about this ebook

With or without a sales team, your SaaS startup isn’t selling features. You aren't even really selling your product. You're selling a solution, and using it as your entry point to form a buyer relationship. Understand your prospects’ problems and offer to solve them better than anyone else can. This can be effective even when you haven't built out the features. But it means you or your sales team can't approach these deals as purely transactional. You're selling the client on how valuable you can be to their organization, its customers and its bottom line. Position your startup or product as helpful, desirable, and above all, more than worth the price of admission.

What we loved:

The first person narrative style coupled with references to external sources. Much like the sales advice within, this book knows its value and isn’t afraid to yell it at you (with proof)

Summary:

This free business book is an actual book. Buckle up and prepare to be educated on SaaS startup sales. The book covers every—single—thing a startup founder needs to know about SaaS sales, often to a level of overwhelming detail. It’s not an enjoyable read (there are some very uncomfortable truths candidly stated), but it’s one the fearful startup founder will greatly benefit from.
