It seems like everything I read about sales productivity is focused on doing more. I see all sorts of insights, sage advice, and technology that helps improve our productivity and efficiency.

It seems we fill the time doing more of that same stuff, rather than doing other things that may be neglected, or for which we have not enough time.

Paid search advertising conversion rates have decreased across nearly all industries year over year. Meanwhile, the cost of generating leads through search ads continues to increase. Feeling déjà vu? I sure was after reading LocalIQ’s annual search advertising benchmarks report, which was released today. It’s basically more of the same story as 2023.

We rarely stop to think about the lightning speed of modern information access. Try picturing a time when answers lived only in libraries – it seems archaic now. Search tools have become so powerful that they grasp the meaning behind your questions, not just the individual words. This capability is the result of an evolution from keyword to entity-oriented search.

I’ve re-learned something about marketing every year working on the SaaStr Annual for 10+ years. And that thing I’ve learned is that you can take two brutally competitive products, that are very similar, give each a booth at SaaStr Annual, Europa or at one of our digital events… or each can try a podcast ad or do a newsletter ad … and one can walk away with more leads than you can follow up on.

Dear SaaStr: As a SaaS Founder, Can You Tell Us The Story of How You Found Product-Market Fit? I had to brute force it, at least the second time at EchoSign / Adobe Sign. When we launched we had a small but decent number of sign-ups, and once we had a paid product in a few months, a small number of reasonably happy paying customers. Not many. But at least a few that were happy.

Asset tokenization is the process of representing real-world assets like real estate, art, or even gold into digital tokens on a blockchain. It makes it easier to trade them securely online. Each token represents a piece of asset, enabling investors to purchase and trade fractional ownership without the need to acquire the entire asset.

If you believe what you see on TikTok, becoming an entrepreneur is just about as easy as posting a 30-second video. But in the real world, launching a small business can be a bit more challenging. Starting a small business may seem daunting, but if you ask those same business owners if it’s worth the risk — few would trade the opportunity to shape their own destiny.
