EPISODE SUMMARY
In 2024, the software industry is experiencing what I like to call "The Big Squeeze." Sales leaders and Chief Revenue Officers (CROs) are being asked to achieve more with fewer resources. Goals and quotas remain unchanged, but teams are shrinking, leads are drying up, and customers are less responsive. This pressure cooker environment is causing significant stress across the board. These issues were prominent during a recent conversation at the SaaS Open conference in Austin, Texas.
That’s why in this week’s episode of Scale Your SaaS, host, and B2B SaaS Sales Coach Matt Wolach sits down with Kapta’s Founder and CEO, Alex Raymond, to discuss how to grow revenues with great account management to counter these challenges in SaaS. Read more to find out how you can apply these tips to your business.

Building a personal connection with superiors beyond the workplace is also critical to career advancement.

He recommends starting small, incorporating AI into daily routines, and documenting use cases and ideas for future applications. By consistently experimenting and learning, businesses can unlock the immense potential that AI brings to the table.

While AI offers incredible efficiency and effectiveness, Ryan warns against overreliance without understanding the fundamentals.

[17:37] “One question we always asked the executive teams when we interviewed them right before a workshop is can you state your strategy in one sentence? That is still the best possible indicator I found of having a sharply focused strategy.”
[21:35] “I would still say start with creating a bit more self-awareness. And that sounds very soft. I know a lot of people resist that. But really, if you can learn to be more open to some feedback about yourself, maybe ask a coach to do a 360 survey of people around you.”
Matt Wolach
[15:39] “Learn your market, know who your ideal customer is, and aim directly at that customer with your product with your marketing messaging with your sales process, aim at that person.”
[09:36] “A lot of people don't realize the evolution you need to go through as a leader. As your company grows, there are so many different changes.”

TOP TIPS FROM THIS EPISODE
Unlock the Power of ValueIn pricing SaaS products, Stiving emphasized the importance of recognizing the true value a product brings to the customer. He stressed that understanding customer value and harnessing it through effective pricing strategies is the key to generating invincible profits.
Identify and Quantify ValueStiving introduced the concept of a "value table," encouraging businesses to identify their most marketable product features. The challenge is to then determine the specific problems these features solve for customers. Through a systematic approach to understanding customer problems, software businesses can quantify the results and ultimately assign a dollar value to the solution.
Leverage Customer GrowthStiving highlighted that while many software companies focus extensively on acquiring new customers, the real potential lies in growing existing ones. By adopting a mindset of 'win, keep, grow,' businesses can explore four avenues for customer growth: raising prices, upselling, cross-selling, and usage-based pricing.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
Strategic Pricing for Sustainable GrowthAddressing the perennial concern of raising prices without causing customer churn, Stiving offered a practical strategy. By incrementally raising prices for the top tier of customers who derive the most value, businesses can carefully monitor the impact on churn. This approach ensures that the value delivered justifies the price increase, creating a win-win situation for both the business and its customers.
Build a Value-Based CultureThe key takeaway for software leaders is to cultivate a value-based culture within their organizations. Stiving advocated for a continuous focus on understanding customer needs and integrating this perspective into every decision. By placing the customer at the center of business considerations, companies can foster long-term success.
Take ActionFor software leaders seeking to refine their pricing strategies and value propositions, Mark recommends exploring the framework of the valuable features available on Impact Pricing's website. Additionally, leaders can gain further insights by connecting with Stiving through a consultation or discovery
