Download or read book The SaaS Email Marketing Playbook written by Étienne Garbugli and published by Étienne Garbugli. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A great no-BS resource where you are guaranteed to pick up useful tips and approaches, whether you’re an email pro or just starting out.” – Andrus Purde, Founder & CEO, Outfunnel - - No matter how great your product is, it’s very likely that 40–60% of free trials never see your product a second time. This means that you stand to lose up to 60% of your hard-earned signups. Do you just let them go? Email marketing is one of the highest leverage activities in a SaaS business. It can help: • increase onboarding and trial conversions; • reduce churn; and • grow monthly recurring revenue (MRR). By introducing a single campaign today, you could significantly increase your conversions, and get the benefits of that increase predictably and repeatedly, week after week. That’s the beauty of automation. It’s also how we created an upsell program at LANDR that was generating up to 42% of weekly subscription conversions. When I joined LANDR, we were only sending 3 automated emails (and only 1 of those was performing). By focusing on sending the right email to the right user at the right time, performance jumped up, with increases in: • product onboarding completion; • engagement; • sales; and • upgrades to annual subscriptions. We made a lot of mistakes along the way (including sending 85,000 emails to the wrong users). It took a lot of trial and error, long hours, and exhaustive internet searches, but the results were obvious. Email was more effective at generating revenue than: • Investing in more ads; • Building new features hoping they’ll drive engagement; • Redesigning at the cost of trial and error. You can learn SaaS email marketing the way we did (through hard work), or jump to the front of the line. The SaaS Email Marketing Playbook includes everything I would have loved to know about email before I got started at LANDR: • how and when to create new emails or In-App messages to influence your users’ behaviors and purchase decisions; • how to double, triple, or quadruple the performance of every single email you send; • how to stand out in an increasingly more crowded inbox; and • how to create processes and structure to systematically grow the performance of an email marketing program. The book also includes seven deep dives to help you implement your onboarding, upsell, retention, referral, and behavioral sequences, among others. You don’t need to be a master copywriter (or have one on your team) to send effective emails. You just need the right processes and knowledge to start growing your business with email. The SaaS Email Marketing Playbook contains everything you need to plan, build, and optimize your email marketing program. - - The SaaS Email Marketing Playbook was written for businesses with clear signs of Product-Market Fit, that are: • selling to consumers or businesses; • charging monthly or yearly subscription fees; • generating more than $2k MRR; and • adding at least 200 email signups per week.
Download or read book ALWAYS BE QUALIFYING written by Darius Lahoutifard and published by 01consulting. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, companies large and small have called on me to get help with their non-performing sales team. The described symptoms are different from one company to another. Some need more revenue. Others complain about unreliable forecasts, with deals slipping constantly from one quarter to another before being lost or even abandoned a few quarters later. Some CEOs notice unproductive sales teams with an unusually high number of non-quota-carrying people needed in the sales force, hitting the bottom line hard. All these symptoms are related to the same illness: inability to qualify. Since most sales teams put in place organizations including SDR (Sales Development Representatives) or BDR (Business Development Representatives) who qualify leads for Account Managers, there is a wrong unstated assumption, widely spread, that once a lead is qualified, the inside sales or field sales will have to work on them until they are won or lost. Ongoing qualification is often the issue. Qualification is not a binary step of the sales process. Qualification is a mindset and a habit to apply throughout the sales process, from the first call to closing. This book covers both the Why and the How of sales qualification. I was an early sales leader at PTC where the MEDDIC methodology took shape. I am also the founder of MEDDIC Academy, the first platform to bring the qualification methodology online. This book describes the M.E.D.D.I.C. and the MEDDPICC® sales methodology in depth. This is not a book of theories, research, or academic concepts but pure execution techniques with practical recipes. At a high level, MEDDIC is a checklist that helps sales professionals reveal the gaps in an opportunity and execute correctly to fill those gaps and close the deal or drop it early. This book is an excellent complement to the training and workshops we deliver online and in-person globally.
