I want to tell you an old story that you need to know. For 14 years I've been writing a blog post every day, minus 13 days when I was in the Himalayas and I went to Mount Everest. When I started, I thought there was no possible way I would be able to write and post every day, but it turns out I have done both of those things.

Let’s face it: the marketing world is already complicated. Agile marketing isn’t easy to implement or continuously manage, and the promise of helping teams prioritize work — and say no to some things — remains elusive. But now, marketing processes are shifting even more rapidly, with generative AI emerging as the top catalyst. How do you combine agile marketing and generative AI?

Traditional marketing tracking methods like unique phone numbers and coupon codes are becoming less effective. With stricter privacy regulations and consumers gaining more control over their data, marketers have turned to digital attribution using pixel-based tracking. However, this method overlooks the full customer journey by focusing only on the last interaction before conversion.

So is AI taking over everything? Will $1B SaaS companies be run by 1 person teams? I mean … maybe. Across the SaaStr Fund portfolio, I’ve seen multiple portfolio companies lost $1m customers to new, in-house AI initiatives. But I’ve also seen others grow even faster as AI rebooted and enhanced their products. What I do know is many of the billion+ SaaS companies I invested in a decade ago would not be remotely competitive today.

Dear SaaStr: Does Being a Strong Operator Make You a Better Investor? I don’t think in SaaS being a founder or senior exec or early key hire makes you a better investor per se. Why not? I mean … it’s pretty easy to invest at $1m ARR growing 300% in a hot space. It’s really not all that hard. Now founders may prefer an ex-CEO or operator on their board or cap table.

Google concluded its defense in the Department of Justice’s lawsuit over its advertising technology, making its case for why the DOJ’s claims miss the mark. Even though Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Milgrom provided supportive testimonies, it’s still easy to see that Google’s testimony could have gaps. Here are my favorite ones: 1. “Duty to deal” argument Google’s stance : Google argues that it should not be required to share its ad tech tools or platforms with compe

OK, most sellers are clueless about solution selling. They’ve been taught to pitch products! They talk about product capabilities, features, functions, move to a demo, then close. The customer has to figure out whether the product solves their problem. Fortunately, for these sellers, customers are engaging them in the last 15% of their buying process.

On Friday, Google concluded its defense in the Department of Justice’s lawsuit over its advertising technology.

In the fierce battle for customer attention, many of the salespeople and leaders I work with in my practice come to me with the same problem. They feel they have a good value proposition and pitch, yet customers continue to ignore their outreach. They lead with statements like, “We can help you… …harness the power of AI for your business to help you grow 20% faster” …boost your revenue and reduce your credit card processing fees by up to 25%” …make critical decision

My first day working at my company was Cyber Monday. Everyone gave me a warm welcome, told me they were busy and let me watch. As I rolled my office chair from desk to desk and listened to calls, I learned about what Cyber Monday meant to ecommerce. I’m reminded of this experience as the 2024 holiday season approaches, and I think about the new marketers who will experience the Black Friday through Cyber Monday trial by fire.

Since California legislators passed a fiercely contested AI safety bill at the end of August, the question has been whether Governor Gavin Newsom would sign it into law. We now know the answer, with Newsom vetoing the bill after saying earlier this month that it could “have a chilling effect on the industry.” That industry accounts for almost 20% of the state’s gross regional product.
