SaaStr 730: How to Price and Package AI SaaS Products with Sandhya Hegde, General Partner at Unusual Ventures With everything in AI moving so rapidly, what's the best way to price Artificial Intelligence products or SaaS tools with custom AI features and integrations? Should it be subscriptions, usage, solutions, or something entirely different?

SummaryIn this episode, Sean discusses the significance of not imposing a poor workflow on your B2B SaaS product. He emphasizes the need to match user expectations, avoid overwhelming options, and focus on specific use cases. By evaluating analytics and addressing signs of user dissatisfaction, you can optimize sign-ups and conversions.Key Points Understand the workflow experience within your B2B SaaS product Don't create a generic workflow that confuses and overwhelms users Tailor your product to address specific use cases and provide value Analyze conversion rates and use tools like Hotjar to identify rage quits User behavior, such as U-turns and application abandonment, can indicate workflow issues Striking a balance between narrow focus and solving a significant problem is essential Eliminating customers with a narrow focus misconception is a common pitfall Quotes "Problem comes when you actually convert that user into signing up for your product and the experience that they have." "You want to go as narrowly focused as you can while still solving a rather large problem."

SummaryIn this episode, Sean shares a trick to maximize free trial to paid conversions for B2B SaaS products. Instead of restricting access to valuable functionality, Sean advises giving everything away during the free trial. By leading with the best features, you can hook users and increase conversions.Key Points Restricting access to valuable functionality reduces conversions. Providing access to everything during the free trial can hook users onto your product. Users may get frustrated if they can't experiment with the features they find most valuable. Boost conversions by leading with your best functionality during the free trial. Rolling users into the highest tier after the trial can lead to more paying accounts. Don't lock users out of experiencing the best your product has to offer. Leading with valuable functionality first can increase your conversion rates. Quotes "If you are restricting access to your most valuable functionality...that is more than likely gonna reduce the amount of conversions." "Give everything away...use it to get them hooked onto it." "If your product is not leading with your best functionality...I would encourage you to make that change." "It boosted paid conversions by a considerable margin." "Don't lock them out of experiencing it all together because they might just bail on you."

SummaryIn this episode, Sean shares valuable insights on how to evaluate competition when building B2B SaaS products. While it's common for founders to obsess over competition, Sean explains that it's unnecessary and shares the advantages of low touch products that come with free trials. He encourages listeners to experience existing products to gain inspiration, identify areas for improvement, and understand market trends. Sean also emphasizes the importance of simplicity and usability in product design.Key Points Don't obsess over competition, as customers often know less about it than you do. Low touch B2B SaaS products offer the advantage of free trials and easy access. Evaluate existing products to gain inspiration, improve workflow, and explore new ideas. Monitor competition before, during, and after product development and launch. Analyze pricing models to understand market trends and make informed decisions. Learn from the results and performance of existing products as benchmarks for your own. Prioritize simplicity and stick to a primary workflow to avoid confusion and usability issues.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks Sean Boyce, an expert product builder who helps companies, large and small, realise their vision when developing and owning world class SaaS products without needing to make all the mistakes that are typically made by most product companies. Sean has successfully scaled his own product companies including StaffGeek and Podcastchef. Today though NxtStep Sean helps B2B SaaS businesses to build the products that matter most for their target audiences. On this episode the pair discuss: FinTech trends, automation, and Chat GPT, market challenges and what is happening within current capital access needs, why it's essential to democratise access to drive financial inclusion, and Sean will share some thoughts on how to build good SaaS-based B2B product offerings. KEY TAKEAWAYS I've always been involved with and fascinated by technology, both hardware and software, but I got very excited about the possibilities of software earlier on in my career, particularly automation. It has the possibility to out the people in the process in a better position to be able to leverage the technology and software to make incredible leaps forwards in progress. I worked in corporate and startups, building companies of my own in tech and finance. I like to spend time diving deep into industries, spending time with subject matter experts and better understanding from them the progress they're trying to make and what's holding them back from making that progress. Usually there's a bottleneck in the process somewhere, and I look to try to figure out what is the fastest, most cost-effective way that I can leverage technology or put a strategy in place which enables them to make considerable progress in a shorter period of time, much more cost-effectively than however they're trying to solve that problem today. Chat GPT is pretty remarkable and has made its way round the world relatively quickly since they released some of their latest updates. That's really interesting in terms of what that product is capable of. I think we're going to see a new ‘gold rush' leveraging tools like that based on what people have been able to see it's capable of in order to use as a tool, or a component to build other tools and resources for people to get a lot of value out of. One of the most revolutionary elements of Chat GPT is that it's a leap forwards in progress in how we access information – or it's going to be, as it get continually polished – as opposed to most people's current strategy, which is to leverage a search engine like Google where I'm presented to a list of results after I ask my question, some of which may or may not get what I'm looking for based on how I asked the question and whether or not that information is out there and available yet. You have to update and evolve your strategy for innovating and investing in your company based on the implications of global changes are for your organisation. As money is no longer as accessible or cheap as it once was, fundraising and gaining access to the capital you might need to do what it is that you want will probably be a bit more difficult which raises the bar for who is going to receive capital and when, making competition more fierce. Try to make as much progress on your own with the resources you have, if you can. It will usually end up being advantageous in the future. BEST MOMENTS ‘I've always looked to automate the time-consuming but error-prone elements of any processes that we might need to do so that people can leverage the technology in a better and more empowering way, so they can make considerable progress with a lot less resources much, much faster.'‘I've seen Chat GPT being used in everything from automating significant, time-consuming elements of content creation and copywriting all the way through to using it to write code for you to build applications and building blocks as opposed to writing anything in a customer fashion.'‘Whenever possible, making processes that are really important simpler ultimately makes them more effective.'‘.' ABOUT THE GUEST Sean Boyce helps SaaS businesses realize your vision of owning a world-class software product WITHOUT needing to make all the mistakes that typically sink most product companies.

We continue our interview with Irina Poddubnaia of TrackMage to discuss the benefits of SAAS solutions, why they chose them, and how to distinguish your solution from the pack. This delves into many practical challenges for building traditional software. Then, we switch gears to focus on how a similar solution can differ in critical areas. Delivery Over Packaging The bottom line of benefits of SAAS solutions is that you can focus on delivering features over platform configuration headaches. Rather than spend time tightly integrating into an OS or device, a SAAS approach tackles that once, and then developers can move forward, adding features and resolving bugs. Yes, there are some admirable aspects of an installed application, but how often would you rather have features than that level of accessibility? Different Goals There are many ways to deliver software in the modern world. These range from plugins, to applets, to installed applications, SAAS, and more. These products may also be focused and simple to create or full-featured and highly complex. The challenge with selling your product comes down to highlighting where it fits in the mix. Customers are not always clear on how the options compare. While this is one of the benefits of SAAS products, i.e., you can quickly add those quick-to-build features and make them available. It also can be confusing. Customers may see a simple plugin providing one or two features you offer and try to equate the products. It is up to you to craft the story for your product and why the other options fall short. A Little Background Irina is a SAAS founder and a business consultant specializing in Operations and Processes Optimization.

Here is the brutal truth about eCommerce: Most eCommerce sellers focus on getting traffic to their stores. Paid ads, affiliate promotions, events, direct outreach, SEO, etc. The thinking goes like this: traffic -> paying customers and more traffic -> more paying customers. So, all this becomes a race to get as much targeted traffic as possible. While doing that, they forget about existing customers. Do you know that it costs you five times more to acquire a new customer than it takes to keep an existing one? The probability of selling to an existing customer is 60-70%, while the chance of selling to a new prospect is 5-20%In this guide, she explains how you can drive back traffic to your store after purchase and make 5-10% extra sales by upselling your existing customers. All this while they are waiting for their orders. This technique doesn't require coding and is easy to apply.

This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to create a world free from security incidents. My guest is Shikhar Shrestha, CEO and Co-Founder of Ambient.ai. Shikhar is a tech entrepreneur on a mission. He builds and leads teams that invent new technologies that transform markets, all with the end goal of delivering magical outcomes for our customers. After several years of R&D in Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence in academia at Stanford and industry at Apple and Google, he realized that the reactive approach to security doesn't work for today's world. That sparked the idea to found Ambient.ai in February of 2017. Ambient.ai is a computer vision intelligence company. It's on a mission to transform security operations by preventing every security incident possible - without sacrificing privacy. They're building solutions for the world that we want to live in. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Shikhar to my podcast. We explore what's broken in the world of security prevention. Shikhar shares his vision to transform the industry and how the journey he's following to make the biggest possible impact. He explains what he's done differently to build traction momentum by creating a strong pull from the market. Lastly, he shares his big lessons learned from dealing with disbelief from customers, investors, and employees - and how to build a software business that cannot be ignored. Here's one of his quotes "In the first phase, the only thing that really matters is getting to product market fit. And I think, over time, the success or failure of the company really depends on the strength of the product market fit. You want to be able to answer this question, which is: what do you uniquely offer that someone desperately wants. And unique and desperate are really important words there because if it's not unique, other people will copy you, and the company is not really going to be valuable. And if the customers or prospects are not desperate to solve the problem, it's going to be very hard as a startup to convince anybody to buy the product." During this interview, you will learn four things: How to design for creating pull from the market Why going against conventional wisdom is often the route to creating very defensible differentiation. Why early disbelief is a precondition for a good entrepreneurial opportunity Why companies should be built to be anti-fragile and how to go about that For more information about the guest from this week: Shikhar Shrestha Website Ambient.ai Subscribe to the Daily Value Inspiration Stressed by the thought of 'not enough' traction?

Software as a service (or SaaS) is a way of delivering applications over the Internet—as a service. Instead of installing and maintaining software, you simply access it via the Internet, freeing yourself from complex software and hardware management. SaaS applications are sometimes called web-based software, on-demand software, or hosted software. Whatever the name, SaaS applications run on a SaaS provider's servers. The provider manages access to the application, including security, availability, and performance. Many of us use these applications daily! Today I speak to Nathan Gampel, the CEO of Simpel and Associates, who are known as business transformation specialists. For more than two decades, Nathan has advised leading organizations on their most complex change programs. From private equity led mergers and acquisitions to modernizing how global organizations work, Nathan helps companies win at change. Nathan is also the inventor of Kinetic Transformation; a patent-pending algorithm for understanding change at scale and creating actions that beat the 70% challenge. For anyone who wants to understand the world of SaaS, this is your episode. In this podcast, Nathan will share: SaaS platforms involve software that is available via third-party over the Internet. Examples of popular SaaS providers include BigCommerce. Google Workspace, Salesforce. These are household names but not always! How did this happen? Can you define what Saas is and how it has evolved over time? What role does SaaS play in business transformation and how? Some examples would be great!

Andrew Ou is an award-winning UX strategist, designer and author based in Vancouver, BC. He helps SaaS companies increase their revenue and profitability by reducing cost of support and while building a better customer experience. His past clients include HSBC, Rosetta Stone, and Asurion. Questions Can you share in your owns words, a little bit about your journey, how did you get to where you are today? Now, customer experience, SaaS products, support services, can you share with us maybe some trends that you see emerging or have emerged since 2022 as it relates to this part of service delivery or customer experience? From a UX strategy point of view if you're building a product, how does the client or the customer travel through the journey that you are taking them through in a digital way, while still holding all of the same principles and values that you would if it was a face to face interaction, or even over the phone? So, how can we translate that in a positive way? And if it's not done positively? Why would it impact our revenue and profitability? One of the other things that we do get asked a lot is, how can we reduce the cost of customer support? So, what's one way? Would the strategy, putting something in place that eradicates that complaint from coming forward again be one way to reduce customer support? And are there any other ways? Could you also share with our audience maybe I would say 1 to 3 tips that you believe will help organizations build a better customer experience? Could you also share with our audience what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? Could you also share with us maybe one or two books that you have read, it could be a book that you read recently, or maybe one that you read a very long time ago, but it has had a big impact on you. Could you also share with us what's one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. Where can listeners find you online? Do you have a quote or saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you will tend to revert to this quote, it kind of helps to get you back on track if for any reason you got derailed or you got off track. Highlights Andrew's Journey Me: So, we always like to give our guests the opportunity to share in their own words, a little bit about their journeys. So, how did you get to where you are today? I know we read like a brief bio, but it's always good to get in guests own words, a little bit about their own journey. Andrew shared that he started off in UX design, he's been doing that for he thinks over around 8 to 10 years now. And like Yanique mentioned, he used to work for companies like HSBC, Asurion and fit brains Rosetta Stone. And now he's just sort of running his own consultancy where he helps SaaS founders build beautiful products that impact the world. And a lot of that has to do with creating an excellent customer journey and a good customer experience. Customer Experience, SaaS Products, Support Service – Trends Emerging Since 2022 as it Relates to Service Delivery and Customer Experience Me: Now, customer experience, SaaS products, support services, can you share with us maybe some trends that you see emerging or have emerged since 2022 as it relates to this part of service delivery or customer experience? Andrew shared that he thinks there's a very interesting intersection between customer experience and user experience, mainly that, both of the words and with experience and so it's a very interesting intersection, because they sort of do affect each other. And a lot of the overarching trend is that we're always moving towards a better user experience and what he noticed is that when there's a customer experience issue, it typically always comes back to something related to sort of the design of the product and that's where users get stuck. So, one of the things he noticed is that when there's a support issue, and you can actually fix it and make the product better from a user experience standpoint, and by getting to the root cause, it actually improves the product by a lot and there are a lot of benefits to it. UX Strategy – How Does the Customer Travel Through the Journey and its Impact on Revenue and Profitability Me: A lot of our listeners are also interested in the direct correlation between revenue profitability and customer experience. From a UX strategy point of view, how are you going to use an experience? Because whereas customer experience probably talks to the more tangible, user experience is probably more talking about the digital experience? Like, if you're building a product, how does the client or the customer travel through the journey that you are taking them through in a digital way, while still holding all of the same principles and values that you would if it was a face to face interaction, or even over the phone? So, how can we translate that in a positive way? And if it's not done positively? Why would it impact our revenue and profitability? Andrew shared that the thing you have to realize is that, like, when a user is using your product, they sort of have an idea of how to use the product and that's sort of like a customer's intuition on how the product should work. So, when you're designing a product, you should always keep that in mind and also set the expectations so that the users know where they are in the journey. Now, a big part of where customer experience comes into play is that, with a good product experience, for example, like Google, and most of the time he thinks like, if you never had like most of those users never probably have to contact Google because their product, they're just so easy to use. Now, the opposite of that is you're contacting a product for support, because experience is bad, and that's what happens, right? That's because somewhere along the way, you were trying to do something, and you couldn't do what you needed to do so then you need to contact support to get it done. So that's primarily what happens and that means there's a cost to support associated with that, that means you got to spend the resource into fixing that issue. So that's how like a bad customer experience makes a direct impact, or has a direct impact on the revenue and profitability. Because you shouldn't rely on customer support to help your users navigate the product. And if you're seeing a really high cost of support in that aspect, that means there's a really sort of like a gap in the user experience. Me: So, dovetailing off of what you just said Andrew, what about those companies or products that don't have an avenue for you to get through to customer support. So, I've bought products already and as you mentioned, I've bucked up on a roadblock, and I need to get some assistance, and I go to their website, and the only avenue that they have for me to get through to someone is to send an email, they have no live chat with live agents, there is no telephone number there for me to actually call a number and get through. And sending an email, of course, is clearly not going to have my issue resolved in the next 5 or 10 minutes. What are your thoughts on companies that take that approach? Andrew shared that well, that means they definitely have a gap in the product experience, because you're in a situation where you need to contact support, but it's not there. So that means you must feel kind of frustrated, or you wanted to get your problem solved, but it's not available, right? Is that how you're feeling at that moment? And he would always like to say that it's really crucial that a company focuses on building a good customer experience, because that's how you get loyal users to come back to you and raving fans that love your product. So, if you sort of like have that cut off for customer support, and people are having trouble reaching the company where they actually needed, he doesn't think that's a really good strategy and users like you will get frustrated and that might negatively impact your relationship with that company. Me: So, then your recommendation is they should have an avenue by which you can actually get through to someone, a live human being who can answer your question, correct? Andrew stated that that's actually one of two strategies. So, yes, like talking to a human helps, but on the other hand, you can also look at when these problems occur, like why did they happen, and from a company strategy point of view, if you're having these issues come up pretty often, they should look into solving that so that it doesn't happen again and that will actually be a better strategy for improving the user experience. Reducing the Cost of Customer Support and Eradicate Complaints From Coming Forward Me: One of the other things that we do get asked a lot is, how can we reduce the cost of customer support? So, what's one way? Would the strategy, putting something in place that eradicates that complaint from coming forward again be one way to reduce customer support? And are there any other ways? Andrew stated absolutely. And that's coming from like a UX strategy point of view. So, he'll sort of tell you like a lot of what companies do when they have these issues, because he's experienced it himself. Andrew shares a story, he was using this product, it was like a LinkedIn outreach tool. And he was having trouble using it because he was expecting the software to function a certain way, but it didn't. So, then he had to contact support and then support was explaining to him like, “Oh, no, that's not how our product works. You got to use it this way, or do this and that. And then then you won't run into this issue.” And he's thinking like, if he's having this issue, there must be a lot of users who are also having it because the way that he had envisioned it to work was actually really, really different. So then, what's happening is these companies are training their customer experience reps to explain the product should function a certain way. And they have to do that over and over again, and it's not solving the root of the problem. So, what companies should actually do is, when they encounter these issues, and these issues, they're likely frequent, they should actually look at it from a design point of view and see how they can solve that because once they do, it leads to a lot of benefits downstream, like when you eliminate the root of the problem, you eliminate the cost of training and the cost of support and documentation for that problem, because they no longer exist. So, he thinks companies, when they face a situation where they're seeing the same support issues over and over again, they should look into solving that and getting to the root of that problem and solving that directly. And that will actually ease up the support volume, and also reduce the cost of support. Tips that Will Help Organizations Build a Better Customer Experience Andrew shared that he thinks number one, is you got to be really customer centric and that means doing your best to make sure that you give the customers the best experience in whatever avenue. So, if they're having troubles, become human and try to help them solve that problem directly, instead of being so strict or so robotic, and your policies. And he'll give you one example. He was using a software a while ago, and he had forgotten to turn off my billing, and they just billed him without even telling me and they didn't even send out emails or anything. So, he sort of felt like a complaint because he was not happy with the way they were doing things. And they actually responded and there's two ways that they could have gone, one is they just say, “Well, sorry, according to our policy, we don't actually offer any refunds.” But the support rep was really, really human and sort of talked to him in a way that was human and really nice and she actually helped him solve that problem. And he actually appreciated that, that gave him so much more like hope and happiness, because he really appreciated the fact that they were customer centric. And being that, it makes him want to become more of their customer. So, he thinks that's definitely the most important tip. Because if you focus on just giving value to your customers, he thinks your customers will really appreciate that. And he thinks the second thing is, again, sort of similar. But again, it's focusing on the user experience side of things because if you really focus on building a great customer experience, you'll have like an amazing product and the benchmark of a really amazing product is that it doesn't require so much support for the user to navigate the product and learn how to use it. App, Website or Tool that Andrew Absolutely Can't Live Without in His Business When asked about an online resource that he cannot live without in his business, Andrew stated that that's a sort of interesting one. He thinks from like a business owner's perspective, he thinks tools that helped him eliminate time, like, count Calendly, for example, definitely helps just clean things up. He definitely thinks he can't live without that, because organizing all his meetings and becoming aware of them. Getting like a good email is also good because, again, it helps him organize his time and everything. He guesses that's coming from more of like a business owner perspective. Getting all your tools done, the main idea is to cut out all the little things, all the little distractions, and any tools that will help you do that, it's something that you want to look into. Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Andrew When asked about books that have had an impact, Andrew shared stated that this is going to sound interesting, because this book isn't really like a design book, it's actually a martial arts book from Bruce Lee called the Toa of Jeet Kune Do. But what he really appreciated from this book was just the philosophies in there were just so eye opening, it talks a lot about like, simplicity and everything. So, it talks about like a lot of principles of simplicity, economy and efficiency when it comes to martial arts and it's totally different, he gets it. But he's adapted a lot of that principles in his design. So, that means, like a lot of his design principles actually come from that, simplifying things when it comes to designing interfaces, so on and so forth. And it's really just mind opening. What Andrew is Really Excited About Now! Andrew shared that right now he's helping tech founders build amazing products. And he thinks just the whole idea of, he's the kind of person where he really likes to improve things. So, when he's working on these projects, he thinks about how much they can impact users in the world. And so, he's also making it efficient for himself to help other tech founders do that. And that to him is really exciting to help a lot of tech founders build amazing products, and really seeing a lot of their ideas and then talking about ideas, working through them and then coming up with solutions that really help other people.

But what happens when you also have a highly-configurable product? Charlie writes: I have been tasked with creating a customer education program at our software company. I am devouring your book and podcast episodes. I am trying to create a strategy for implementation based on your guidelines, but the sticking point I keep getting stuck on is that our software is configured for each customer. We have many functions that are fairly standard, but every implementation looks and acts a bit different. I know that I can create education material for more advanced topics that our customers would consume without any customization, but our basic user training is the main thing we are trying to standardize, and I am struggling to determine the best way forward. Thanks for your brains! The hypothesis we'll challenge today is: We are able to create content at scale that meets the needs of most customers without any customization.

What makes a killer SaaS product? How do you get customers and keep them? Introduction Neil Patel, together with his brother-in-law Hiten Shah, is currently operating three SaaS companies, Crazy Egg, HelloBar, and KISSmetrics. Some of Neil's clients include such well-known companies as Amazon, NBC, General Motors, HP, and Viacom. Entrepreneur Magazine says that they "created one of the 100 most brilliant companies in the world." The Wall Street Journal calls Neil a "top influencer on the web," and Forbes calls him "one of the top 10 online marketers." He has been recognized by the United States House of Representatives, President Obama named him one the Top 100 Entrepreneurs Under the Age of 30, and the United Nations has distinguished him as one of the Top 100 Entrepreneurs under the age of 35. Neil talks about his first businesses and how trying to copy Monster.com led to him learning internet marketing. He talks about borrowing money to start a cloud hosting company before such things existed, losing all of the borrowed money, and paying it back. He discusses why he and Hiten Shah started CrazyEgg and KISSmetrics. He then discusses why SaaS companies need to solve customer problems and provide awesome customer support. He discusses the importance of support and why he keeps all of his in-house. Even today he spends some time fielding customer service calls to stay grounded and connected with his customers.
