Too many SaaS teams obsess over winning new deals—and miss the silent killer: churn. Churn doesn’t just shrink revenue. It drags down LTV, spikes CAC, and stalls growth before it compounds. Smart teams treat churn like a pipeline metric: → Measured early → Owned across teams → Fixed with precision If you’re scaling SaaS and churn’s creeping in, this is your playbook: https://lnkd.in/gYtymTbj

SDRs are the backbone of every sales engine—but outdated scripts, vague processes, and one-size-fits-all outreach leave even the best SDRs frustrated and prospects cold. If your SDRs aren't hitting quota, this blog explores what makes a winning SDR strategy—from precision targeting to hands-on enablement—and demonstrates how a modern, growing playbook can open motivation, pipeline growth, and increased revenue.

We pulled data from 224 B2B SaaS companies to answer one simple question: What actually makes a lead convert? The answer surprised us...and it changes how GTM teams should think about pipeline. We put everything into a new research report: “What Does It Take for a Lead to Convert?” Check it out below or via the link in the comments.

PMM managers hit a point where they feel disconnected from the work. You’re suddenly... - Reviewing GTM strategy docs/decks you have (more) limited context on - Coaching teams on how to position against competitors you haven’t heard customers talk about directly - Helping with messaging for products you have limited hands on exp with This drift is natural, but risky. The further you get from the craft, the harder it is to make the right calls on strategy, resourcing, or hiring. The fix isn’t to jump back in everywhere. It’s to choose the right leverage points: 👉 Lead one messaging workshop yourself. 👉 Run a win/loss deep dive with a direct report and actually sit and participate on the calls 👉 Own a competitive research project end-to-end These are a few high-value touchpoints where you sharpen your own intuition and elevate your team. PMM leaders who never touch the work risk managing in abstraction. PMM leaders who dive in with intent build sharper instincts - and stronger teams. In my experience...almost every manager begins to feel the balance shifting. Don't be ashamed or feel awkward about it. But DO try and address it - this is where we're all headed.

Alignment isn’t broken - it's just not operationalized. When Demand Gen fuels qualified pipeline, Lead Gen activates on intent, and GTM teams execute in lockstep, you don’t just capture demand you compound revenue. The gap? Most teams optimize in isolation. Precision-driven growth demands more: - Unified ICP definitions across Sales, Marketing, and Product - Dynamic segmentation that adapts to buyer intent in real time - Full-funnel orchestration from first touch to closed-won - Shared accountability across every revenue motion This isn’t about syncing calendars. It’s about engineering a cohesive, signal-led system that scales. Precision is your steering wheel. Without it, speed just spins you in circles. No more guesswork. No more disconnect. Turn signals into strategy and alignment into acceleration.

I am proud to unveil Catchpoint’s 2025 SaaS Website Performance Benchmark Report—a deep dive into what separates standout platforms from the rest in today’s SaaS-first economy. Key insights from this year’s report: - Milliseconds matter more than ever. When productivity is on the line, even minor delays can result in lost trust and team churn. - Only 32% of companies delivered key content in under 3 seconds. Leaders like Tableau, trello, and Microsoft 365 exemplify what’s possible. But many, like ClickUp and monday.com, lag behind with load times of 8.4 and 4.5 seconds respectively1. - No single metric tells the whole story. True “Balanced Champions”—notably Tableau, Trello, Oracle, and others—excel by harmonizing speed, stability, and resilience across all eight critical performance metrics. Global consistency remains elusive. Even the best platforms deliver their slowest experiences in emerging markets. Our regional analysis shows a persistent 2.5x slowdown for users in Middle East & Africa compared to North America and Europe. Uptime no longer differentiates leaders; it’s table stakes. Perfect availability, as achieved by Asana, HubSpot, Trello, and Zoom, must be paired with frontend speed and rock-solid stability for real user satisfaction. Bottom line: In our relentless pursuit of product excellence, we can’t afford to optimize for just one dimension. It’s not about being the fastest at one thing—it’s about not being slow anywhere. Explore the full report to see where your favorite platforms stand—and where there’s room for improvement. #SaaS #WebPerformance #DigitalExperience #IPM https://lnkd.in/ecay9sy6

GTM strategy isn’t just about launches. It’s about understanding what happens after the product hits the market. While launches grab attention, a true Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy is about refining, adapting, and evolving based on real-world feedback. It’s about ensuring that your product truly fits the market and identifying what adjustments are needed for long-term success. The success of your GTM strategy depends on product-market fit (PMF). If your product isn’t sticky, no amount of marketing can fix that. It’s a product issue, not a marketing one. But once you nail that fit, scaling becomes possible with the right approach—whether that’s product-led, sales-led, or marketing-led. Why? Because strong go-to-market thinking is the difference between ideas that sit and ideas that scale. Ready to master your GTM strategy and drive real results? 👉 Go-to-Market Certified: Masters will equip you with proven frameworks and actionable insights to make data-driven decisions. Led by experts like April Dunford, Rohan Ramesh, and Kavya Nath, this certification will help you perfect your approach and build a GTM strategy that actually sticks. Start your journey today! https://lnkd.in/g5k9McUp

Ah, attribution. A critical, but challenging effort for any GTM strategy. This piece from SEL nicely walks through the challenge with measuring efforts in isolation and the importance of separating incremental and non-incremental actions. https://ow.ly/5WGS50WiWJS

The pressure is real. Every product leader today feels it—the race to infuse AI into their platform without just slapping on a buzzword. Move too slow, and you lose deals. Move too fast with the wrong AI? You risk your product's credibility. GUIDEcx found the sweet spot with Domo. Chris Haleua, VP of Product and Marketing at GUIDEcx, told us this: "Before, we were just checking the basic boxes of standard reports and only making changes once a quarter. But now with Domo, we are able to offer AI Chat, generative dashboard creation, custom AI models, agentic AI, and new workflows.” By partnering with Domo, GUIDEcx unlocked a whole new speed of innovation—without sacrificing quality. Now, customers aren't just looking at their data. They’re actually having conversations with it. Harris Clarke, COO at GUIDEcx, shared: "Domo.AI gives our customers more confidence and value. They can use chat to describe what they are thinking about, and trust that they’ll get the data they need or can get a headstart on building a dashboard instead of starting from scratch. It’s reduced the time to value significantly.” AI didn’t just transform their customer-facing experience. GUIDEcx also used Domo.AI to level up their internal operations: automating customer triage, enhancing sentiment analysis, and prioritizing support cases.   Here’s how Chris described it: “We use Domo.AI for agentic workflows that help us prioritize how to respond to feedback from in-app messaging, industry review sites, or customer satisfaction surveys so we quickly identify the most critical places to engage, whether it’s thanking a promoter or addressing a concern before it turns into churn,” said Haleua I say this all the time, but I really, really mean it. Data isn't just reporting anymore. With Domo.AI, it's action. You can read the full GUIDEcx story here: https://lnkd.in/gcHm-u7N Todd White, thanks for partnering with us.
