Just wrapped up another epic SaaS Audit! 🔥 Last week, I had the pleasure of doing a SaaS Audit for PEAX Data! They’ve got their own SaaS product and were bold enough to let me put it through my "roasting" process—website, onboarding, and all. Now, let me be real here: this product was already great. But hey, even a Ferrari needs a tune-up now and then, right? I still managed to uncover some golden opportunities for improvement. 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐬 ✅ 2 different flows analyzed 📺 77 screens deeply reviewed 💡 40+ recommendations dropped 🎉 Plus, I added a fresh concept for good measure. Big shoutout to➚ Roy van Beest and Guus van Heijningen—you’ve got an incredible product, and it’s only getting better (even if I poked at it a little). P.S. Do you want to improve your SaaS-product? Let me help you with an Audit!

We’ve all been there: your free trial starts with big expectations, but reality doesn’t quite deliver. It’s the product-led equivalent of ordering a gourmet burger 🍔 and getting a sad sandwich instead.

New SaaS founders, stop going about software comparison like it's a battle of egos.😓 You don't have to engage in heated features vs features, two-way comparison debates to win. Instead, you can use a well-crafted three-way comparison content to get a good piggyback off category leaders. Simple strategy: 🎯 Pair two category leaders together, then at strategic turns, introduce your SaaS as a subtle alternative. This way, you get to ride the wave of their search volume, while positioning your product as the best thing since sliced bread. You're welcome.😇

I missed 2 SaaS in 2 months, here's what I learned: 1- ProductHunt is only interesting if you're first. Winner takes all. If you can’t be number 1, everything you do on ProductHunt is a waste of time. 2- When you're on a red ocean, 99 times out of 100, when you have a feature idea to move to a blue ocean, someone has already had that idea and made that move (successfully or not). 3- There's no point in delivering a product quickly if the MVP doesn't add anything to or differ from existing products - because no user will waste time testing it. 4- If you can't find free users who use your product every day, you'll never be able to sell it. 5- The easier it is technically to create a SaaS, the harder it is economically to launch one. When the barriers to entry are lowered, there are so many new entrants to the market that competition inevitably creates new barriers further down the line. 10 years ago, it was difficult to get the tech to launch a SaaS; today, getting the tech is easy, but finding customers is very complicated because competition is intense.

“First-time founders are obsessed with the product. Second-time founders are obsessed with distribution.” Justin Kan. In addition to building a personal brand to create distribution, you can steal distribution. You should meet your customers where they are. In one of my previous newsletters, I shared 11 high-impact websites where you can find customers as a SaaS founder. You can read it up here: https://lnkd.in/dxrZntCb Launch your product on the websites listed there and enjoy good distribution of your product.

"We more than doubled the amount of paying customers we attract from our marketing efforts" It's important to note the distinction between "users" and "paying customers." Why? There's no point in driving more sign-ups if the free-to-paid conversion rate is low in the first place. And we can help you with that, as we did for over 324 SaaS companies helping them generate over $1 billion in self-serve revenue. Enrollment for the ProductLed Academy closes this week.
