In our weekly Free Trial Dominator Group Coaching session I gave the members some interesting questions to ask themselves... and I thought you might want to ask yourself these questions, too.

I didn't just get terse answers to my query, some folks sent me very detailed challenges and I - in turn - responded in detail. And [...]
I believe in moving forward, not looking back. So my question as we go into 2012 is this: What's Your Biggest Challenge as a SaaS or Web App Vendor in 2012? Is it making your Free Trials more effective at creating customers? Coming up with the right Pricing? How to handle Competition? Whether to go Freemium? Overall Business Model issues?
