December 15, 2015 Article by Lincoln Murphy

Customer Success, done correctly, has the potential to impact your business in myriad positive ways; from customer retention to advocacy, and from account expansion to CAC Efficiency. So when I got this question in the comments section of one of my churn rate posts and started to answer, it turned into a post all its […]

Upgrading Grandfathered Early Customers

December 15, 2015 Article by Lincoln Murphy

In my epic tome, the Pricing Strategy Framework for SaaS Startups, I mentioned that the price testing I recommend will result in some customers paying a different price from what you have now; and that this is okay. Sometimes this “grandfathering” of customers happens because you’re explicit with those customers; “if you sign-up today you […]

3 Email Lead Capture Hacks to Get More Customers

June 13, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy

Sadly (for us… pretty awesome for them, I suppose) Stacklead was acqui-hired by LinkedIn and is being shutdown. If we’re honest, email lead capture is pretty much why we have a website. I mean, aside from making a sale the first time someone hits our site, the main goal of everything we do – especially […]

How-to Use SaaS Pricing Discounts to Grow Revenue

March 24, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy

When it comes to SaaS pricing, discounts are both awful and awesome. Unfortunately (or not), we just don’t live in a world of absolutes. Generally, I like to avoid discounts because the way they’re done most of the time can will devalue your offering in the eyes of the customer. And that’s because most of […]

Customer Development Hacks for SaaS Startups

March 13, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy

The two main concerns SaaS vendors looking to ramp customer acquisition have are 1) how do I get my product in front of my ideal customers and 2) how do I identify those ideal customers in the first place… the answer includes Customer Development. For super-early SaaS startups, however, the second question is the main […]

The Greatest Word of Mouth Follow-up Question… Ever!

March 10, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy

Companies – SaaS or otherwise – tell me all the time that Word of Mouth (WOM) is one of, if not the top, method for acquiring new users and customers. While that’s great, what can you really do with that information? Here’s an idea…

How to Get in Front of your Ideal Customers

February 21, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy

When it comes to marketing, distribution is key… getting your product in front of your prospective customers is the most important thing. And yes… there’s more to life than AdWords. But no matter what distribution channels you leverage, the most important thing you can do is get to know your customers and prospects better than […]

Email Marketing: How Vero Got a 450% Increase in Conversions

February 11, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy

For SaaS vendors of any size and at any stage, email marketing – from newsletters to transactional messages – can be an amazing customer acquisition and retention tool.

I do everything… from writing blog posts to writing proposals and from interacting on Social Networks to Networking at Industry Events. One day I’m working with […]

The best way to grow your SaaS business

January 20, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy

If your SaaS addresses a big- or specific-enough problem that people are willing to pay to solve,  you can probably achieve enough growth to result in a decent-enough sized business… in spite of your efforts. But you didn’t set out to build a “decent-enough” sized business, right? Don’t you owe it to your shareholders and […]

January 15, 2014 Article by Lincoln Murphy
Liam Gooding from Trak.io

Whether you’re pre-launch, post-Product / Market Fit (P/MF), or an expansion stage SaaS vendor, Growth Hacking – the methods, tactics, and especially the mindset behind it – can be leveraged by companies at all stages to accelerate growth. Of course, the stage of your company dictate what growth you’re trying to hack achieve, the success […]

WTF is a Growth Hacker, anyway?

December 27, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy
Growth Hacker Bronson Taylor

A recruiter looking for a Growth Hacker contacted me recently and my immediate reaction was “I wonder what that position was called two-months ago.” That seemingly innocent LinkedIn message from a recruiter just trying to do their job, combined with the facts that any marketing tactic is now considered a “Growth Hack” and anyone with […]

Autoresponders are Dead: 5 Types of Follow-up Emails

December 24, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy

Whatever the scenario for the SaaS vendor – during a Free Trial, as a free user of a Freemium, for Demo requests or Enterprise Pricing Inquiries, or after a prospect becomes a paying customer, I get asked all the time what the best email follow-up sequence is. While addressing the ideal follow-up email sequence may […]

SaaS Pricing Model: Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems

December 15, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy

This is a post about SaaS pricing models… but it starts with a story about human behavior. We all know that money doesn’t buy happiness – it buys freedom, and it’s with that freedom that you can choose to do things that make you happy. Money is just the means. But quite often, as people […]

The Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Myth and Misguided Optimization

November 15, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy

For any company – especially those in the expansion stages – Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is a key metric to focus on. And for most companies and their CFOs and COOs, it’s all about making that number as low as possible. But in my experience, it’s not just about lowering CAC so you pay less to […]

5 Rules for Successful Growth Hacking

October 29, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy

Growth Hacking is all the rage right now. In-fact, anyone even slightly involved with marketing or product development in tech companies now calls themselves a Growth Hacker. Now, once everyone identifies as a Growth Hacker the term will be meaningless… but what goes into Growth Hacking (or whatever it’s called in the future) will persist […]

Your Partner's SaaS Pricing Model

The other day I received an email with a very specific SaaS marketing question: “we have the opportunity to send an offer to the email list of one of our Integration Partners… do you have any tips for us?” Well, since having the opportunity to send an offer to a partner’s email list can be an […]

Growth Hack: Warm-Up Your Leads Before You Email Them

October 16, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy
SaaS Growth Hacking: Email Pre-Targeting

When it comes to SaaS growth hacking, an email address is a powerful thing. If you have a list of email addresses – house lists, scraped, or bought – you can do some “pre-targeting” to increase the likelihood of engagement (that they’ll open, read your email, and click a link) before you ever send them […]

SaaS Pricing: Multi Currency Support

October 1, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy

I was asked a question recently about creating SaaS pricing models that include multi currency support. I’ve attempted to answer the question in a meaningful way, but I am the first to acknowledge that there is a lot more to it than just what I talked about in this post. But it’s a great jumping […]

Attention SaaS Providers: If you use email in any way to communicate with your users, customers, and prospects, you should care about GMail’s recent additions: Tabbed Inbox and Categories. As a SaaS provider, you leverage email for marketing with things like your newsletters and your Free Trial follow-up sequence. But you also send transactional messages […]

SaaS Free Trial: Require a Credit Card to begin?

April 25, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy

So, should you require a Credit Card to get started in your SaaS Free Trial? TL:DR – By asking for a Credit Card up front, you will get fewer prospects into your Free Trial with no guarantee of converting more paying customers. Now, if you’d like to know why that is, read on…

SaaS Marketing Plan: 5 Ways to Get your App to Sell Itself

January 7, 2013 Article by Lincoln Murphy

When creating your SaaS marketing plan, you must understand that your business model of choice is a fully-integrated architecture where all aspects of the business – product, support, revenue model, and marketing – are tightly-coupled. Deviation from that model and understanding will affect growth, and most deviation occurs as a rift between marketing and product. “The […]

SaaS Conversion Rate Lies: 97% won’t become customers, anyway

December 5, 2012 Article by Lincoln Murphy

I’m going to expose one of the biggest lies B2B SaaS Executives, Entrepreneurs, and Marketers tell themselves and their team about their SaaS conversion rate… and if this hits a nerve, it is probably because you’ve told yourself – or have been told by your team – this very same lie! “We have a 5% […]

Pivot to Profit: Ditch Freemium and Start Making Money

October 17, 2012 Article by Lincoln Murphy

Let me be clear… I don’t hate Freemium. In fact, I don’t hate any marketing strategy, revenue model, or user acquisition method – including Freemium – I just think sometimes more thought needs to go into the selection – or subsequent ditching – of your business model. UPDATED FOR 2014! What I’ve seen in just […]

Free Trials: Not just for Startups or toy Web Apps

October 3, 2012 Article by Lincoln Murphy

I am frequently asked to help SaaS, Web App, and Cloud companies on strategies to Accelerate Profitable Growth. One way we frequently achieve rapid and long-lasting results is by Accelerating Customer Acquisition through the Optimization of their Free Trial Strategy.

Why $1 Trials are a REALLY Bad Idea

September 22, 2012 Article by Lincoln Murphy

It is well-known that I help B2B SaaS and Cloud companies achieve Profitable Growth, often by accelerating Customer Acquisition, improving SaaS conversion rates, and optimizing Free Trials. Because of that, I am often asked for my opinion or advice in public forums, like recently when I was asked about $1 Trials on Quora. At first, I […]

August 22, 2012 Article by Lincoln Murphy

How do you determine whether a self-service SaaS Free Trial is appropriate for your otherwise high-touch sales process? A SaaS Free Trial is an integral part of the sales process and not something separate… never forget that. So, whether you have a 100% automated, self-service sales model, a high-touch sales process, or a hybrid (many […]

Simply Offering a SaaS Free Trial Increases Conversions

August 14, 2012 Article by Lincoln Murphy

For those companies who’ve offered a SaaS Free Trial and had it fail, it is hard to see how it could ever work. For those who’ve never offered a Free Trial, the idea of adding an extra 30 or 60 days to the sales cycle seems like a bad idea; they’re doing just fine, thank […]
