The Marketing Playbook for SaaS Companies

Marketing playbook for SaaS companies: the channels that actually drive trials and demos for product-led and sales-led software businesses, without a big team.

Share

SaaS companies live or die on a predictable flow of qualified trials and demos. The hard part isn't the product. It's getting in front of the right buyers consistently when you don't have a full growth team yet.

Who You Are

The buyer is usually a founder, head of growth, or early marketing hire at a software company that has product-market fit but inconsistent pipeline. They understand funnels and care about CAC, activation, and payback.

What Hurts Most

  • Inconsistent trial and demo volume month to month.
  • A long list of channels and no time to run them all well.
  • Outbound that competes with every other SaaS in a crowded inbox.

Channels That Work

  • Cold email to a tightly-defined ICP, with messaging tied to a specific job-to-be-done.
  • LinkedIn outreach and content from the founder or a key operator.
  • SEO content targeting the problems the product solves.
