summary
SaaS sales shifts from product pitches to service outcomes, using freemium bottoms-up or top-down GTM, ring-fencing SaaS teams as startups, and applying the Rule of 40 to balance growth and profitability. Hire slowly two-by-two, prioritize grit over experience, and replace spray-and-pray outreach with authentic at scale personalization. Track real metrics — a recent internal project analyzed 2,000 closed leads with data science to redefine what a good lead looks like — and align marketing and sales around conversion, not just raw signups.
