When I talk to software developers, I get lost a couple of sentences after they say the word “code… (either the noun or verb).” Likewise, as financial types start talking “debits, credits, etc.” I start getting a little dizzy.

So three of my personal favorite SaaS companies finally went public, Squarespace, Procore and UiPath. Squarespace is a personal favorite (and one we run many SaaStr sites on) because it took a category of software that was a commodity and often a free give-away and made it magical. Procore is a personal favorite because it did vertical SaaS the hard way, with many mid-market deals, and made it a tenacious success.

In complex b2b sales, the timeline from “walking into” the conversation and walking away may take longer, but it’s still true that you don’t do long-term business with people or companies you don’t trust.
