How Influencer Marketing Helped Grow an 8-Figure SAAS Business Sustainably

What sets influencer marketing apart is the emotional connection it creates. Influencers are not just promoting a product or service, and they're sharing their personal experiences and emotions. They're making a connection with their followers and creating a sense of community. And when we see someone we admire and trust using a product or service, it creates an emotional response in us. It makes us feel like we're part of something special.

How to Operationalize Customer Value to Maximize Product Growth

What’s a critical, yet wildly overlooked, aspect of acquiring customers & growing a product? Operationalizing growth. In this talk, Claire will explore how to match your product experience with real customer needs -- not only to fuel product growth and drive revenue, but also to better equip your team.
How well do you know your best customers? Better yet, how sure are you about why they chose your solution over all the others?

Why SaaS Metrics are Broken: Time for the Next Era Metrics Playbook?

SaaS metrics helped us understand the power of SaaS business models. With the right inputs, we could predict a company’s future (and invest accordingly). We’ve now grown accustomed to the traditional set of SaaS metrics as just part of how to operate a SaaS business. It’s hard to conceive of what to do without metrics like CAC payback, LTV:CAC, average ACV, or the magic number.
Here’s the thing: the traditional SaaS metrics playbook can be extremely misleading when it comes to managing a vertical SaaS, PLG, or usage-based company. How do we benchmark our CAC payback period, for example, if growth comes from our R&D investments rather than from sales & marketing? Of what value is LTV:CAC if we see 150%+ net dollar retention, making our LTV essentially limitless? Kyle Poyar from OpenView will unpack the metrics playbook for this new era of software – and what you should aim for at each stage of growth.
