How is AI Transforming Go To Market for B2B SaaS? Inbound go-to-market for SaaS is undergoing a major transformation. What once relied on blog posts, lead magnets, and cold outreach is now powered by artificial intelligence. AI is no longer just a content assistant. It now fuels end-to-end workflows, drives strategy, qualifies leads, and personalizes outreach at scale. SaaS teams are deploying AI agents to track LinkedIn signals, automate follow-ups, and even manage outbound efforts. This evolution is unlocking new levels of speed and scale, but it also brings real risks if automation isn't carefully managed. In this episode of the Grow Your B2B SaaS Podcast, Maja Voje breaks down how AI is reshaping inbound GTM. She shares what's working today, where teams should stay hands-on, and how to build AI-assisted systems without losing the human connection that still drives trust in B2B.

Today, we're breaking down a lead generation case study that resulted in a 397% increase in revenue and a 356% boost in gross profit. The business, which was stuck at $620,000 in annual revenue, shot up to $2.5 million after just six months of applying the right strategies. We dug into the client's existing assets, found multiple lead magnets, and used them to target different pain points across a broader audience. The result was a more engaged audience, a more diversified funnel, and ultimately more conversions. If you're struggling to scale, it's time to rethink your marketing strategy. Stop pushing for immediate sales and start creating a nurturing experience for your audience. Listen in and learn how you can adapt our lead gen strategy to fit your business.

We all dream of building our own funding empires, but there's one giant wall that stops almost everyone dead in their tracks: getting a consistent flow of quality leads. It can be the most frustrating part of the business. But what if I told you the problem isn't your strategy, but your mindset? In this episode, I'm breaking down the one thing all the greats—from Rockefeller and Carnegie to the billionaires of today—understood about getting their name out there. It's about being bold and unapologetic about the value you provide. You'll hear a story about two of our partners who landed new business just by having a conversation over lunch. Find out the simple mental switch you need to flip to start attracting opportunities everywhere you go. When it comes to lead generation, I see two main paths you can take. While one involves paying for ads, the other is a powerful, no-cost strategy that completely transformed our business. We used this exact method to sign up 400 referral partners in our first year, which has now grown to over 12,000 partners sending us thousands of leads every month. You'll have to listen to find out how we did it, and how you can start building your own lead-generating machine today. For More Info: https://MyFundingMachine.com Email: info@7figures.com

If you're using speaking for lead generation, you won't want to miss this episode. I'm joined by Danielle Hayden, CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., who came to me for a VIP Day to create a new signature talk. Like many entrepreneurs, Danielle had been speaking often, but she knew she was overloading her audience with too much information and not enough transformation. In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on the process we used to refine her message, develop her thought leadership, and craft a presentation that truly connects - with results to prove it. You'll learn: Why Danielle knew it was time to evolve her talk (and how she resisted telling personal stories at first!)

In Part 2 of this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with Nick F. (Nick Fergis), co-founder and CEO of Property.com, a site that connects homeowners with top-rated contractors. They go over the free and paid membership tiers for contractors, tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier, and how Property.com helps build trust and drive quality leads. Nick shares why he started the platform, how it supports real estate agents too, and why only the best contractors are allowed in, no room for poor service or shady lead generation. Nick Fergis talks about why Property.com only lists top-rated, vetted contractors to help homeowners avoid poor service. He explains their free and paid plans, where tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier help contractors get leads and show their work. Nick also shares how real estate agents will soon use the platform to share trusted pros with new homeowners. Gary talks about how many lead services today feel random and low-quality. They agree that trust, clear info, and proven work matter most when choosing the right people for the job. Nick explains that Property.com helps homeowners find top local pros by listing only trusted and vetted contractors. He says the free plan gives you a site and certificate, but paid plans add tools like Max Closer to help close jobs and Max Qualifier to find better leads. Gary says the site feels like a real estate page, but for contractors, all in one spot. They both agree that many lead services are spammy, send bad leads, or don't know the trades. Property.com is built to fix that with tools and trust that help both sides. Expect to Learn: Why Property.com only lists top-rated, vetted contractors. How free and paid plans help pros get leads and build trust. What tools like Max Closer and Max Qualifier do for you. Why real estate agents will share their Rolodex with new owners.

Chris Erler was co-founder and COO of ComX, a sales pipeline generation for mid-market B2B companies in Germany and Europe.

As a tech-enabled service that combines technology, data, and people-powered solutions, ComX delivers proven results through subscription and outcome-based pricing. They grew quickly to approximately $20 million in revenue in four years before being acquired by the private equity firm FLEX Capital.  In this episode, Chris talks about: Growing a team of 70 employees in South Africa Starting in Germany with mid-market companies The challenges of debt financing of private equity buyouts Quote from Chris Erler, cofounder of ComX “99% of the time, I ask the founder, Why are you raising money from investors that early? I'm very pushy on that one because I know the freedom that you can create when building a bootstrapped business. “For me, raising money from investors and giving away shares very early means you're not focusing on customers, but rather focusing on collecting capital to build the product without having it validated too early. I just share our bootstrapped story with ComX which I believe works well.  “That's why I'm a big fan of your podcasts. There's a huge education needed, especially in Europe. People need to be educated on how to found properly. Of course, it can go well, but the chances that something f***'s up are much higher. And then young people are in a very bad situation.” Links Chris Erler on LinkedIn ComX on LinkedIn ComX website FLEX Capital website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.
