#10 - Write your SaaS Growth 📈
Growth Tip of the Week!
Ads
Ads have a different ad-funnel in terms of customer awareness. There are many ways you can have a great sales pipeline with ads. All you need to do is tweak your offering depending on where your customer is. If you sell a blogging tool, sell the dream of blogging to the top of your funnel. Sell what blogging will help them do rather than the writing tool.

Cold Email
Cold emails for SaaS especially B2B have to be a lot more personalized. Selling a tool is a relationship at this point. Personalize the cold email not just as an ice-breaker but also about the specific problem your company/prospect has. Maybe through a loom video? You can scale later with volume.
Content Marketing
For your content hammer to hit the ever-moving nail, you need to be point-on with your content marketing strategy. You can craft the perfect one with good content marketing research. Reddit is a great tool to do your content marketing research.

Community
The biggest difference a good community can do for your SaaS is to create a hearty relationship. When a prospect feels genuinely seen, heard, and talked to, it is natural for them to retain the favor. You get customer word of mouth and target audience research.

Email Marketing
Email is a very sensitive topic. It's like an invitation to someone else's home. You got to be well-mannered. You need to tell them you are coming (let them know when you will send emails), what you will be doing (tell them why you are sending emails), and how it will help them when you come (bring a high value to the table, maybe a bottle of wine?).

SEO
As a new SaaS product, begin your SEO with bottom-of-the-funnel content. Start writing about your features and how it helps the job to be done. This is how new SaaS products can create BOFU content. It helps a user with their most specific and pressing pain-point and creates multiple opportunities for conversion.! :)
