• 2013 is definitely a year of new
opportunities. It doesn’t matter if
you are selling your services
online, developing e-commerce, or
advising.
![Page 3: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• It doesn’t matter if you are
freelancer, a start-up, an SaaS
seller, or if you are providing
accounting services.

• Analysis, drawing conclusions, and
growth are the common
denominators in all of them.

• A key to success lies in measuring
the correlation between:
size and source of Web traffic
SEO indices
customer retention
conversions and goals
![Page 9: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• There is no business without
customers.
Being on the first page for a
keyword that our customers don’t
search for is neither useful nor
profitable.
![Page 10: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Searching for as many as possible
phrases that bring traffic with little
competition level is crucial.
![Page 12: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• If our website is not popular, and
we don’t have many strong
backlinks, then even good
keywords won’t help us. We can’t
hope to be listed on the first page
of search engines in such a
situation.
![Page 14: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Measure search engine positions
with the help of specialist SEO
tools in every single country you
are targeting.
![Page 15: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Measure the quality of your
backlinks with the analysis of
internal/external links and phrases
to which they link.
![Page 16: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Measure the quality of your own
websites – density of keywords you
target, semantic codes, loading
speed, etc.
![Page 17: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3. Acquiring paid traffic makes sense,
but only if it leads to reasonable
conversion rate
![Page 18: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Examples of traffic sources:
– Facebook Ads
– Adwords Ads
– Retargeting– advert for our
already existing visitors. A very
efficient tool for an acceptable
amount of money.
![Page 19: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. Advise, help, expand the coverage in
networking and social media. Chase
your customer
![Page 20: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Examples of page with discussions
which can help expanding your
range:
– Quora
![Page 22: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Retention is the most important
index for businesses that sell
products or services for
subscription.
![Page 23: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Measuring how useful our
product/service is absolutely vital
in this case. It helps us to answer
the needs of our customers more
efficiently.
![Page 24: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• One of the best tools for measuring
retention is Mixpanel.
![Page 26: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• The second most important index
is Goal Conversions – efficient
budget allocation.
![Page 27: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• These tools can be very helpful:
– Google Analytics
– Kissmetrics
– Colibri
![Page 29: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Test different prices (A/B test), but
never change prices for existing
customers.
![Page 30: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• If possible, implement a
subscription model or SaaS that
will allow you to estimate revenues
much more easily.
![Page 32: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Create affiliate programs, loyalty
programs and recommendations –
customers recommending your
product to their “friends” will
always be more efficient than you.
![Page 34: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Go viral!
Can you create viral content? – it’s
one of the hardest tasks, but also
one of the best methods for
expanding your range.
![Page 38: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• The Internet is filling up with
helpful knowledge. But sometimes
paying for it is a better idea,
because it will be much more
complex.
![Page 39: How to sell SaaS? Based on experience](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54708264b4af9fa30a8b478c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• I can recommend:
- Mixergy – over 90 courses and
800 interviews with people who
have succeeded.
- Sixteen Ventures– advanced
course for businesses based on
free trial models.

Get all of these actions
working every day, every
month, and don’t stop.
Good luck!
