David Nokes
CEO, Emergency Reporting
“One of the first decisions I made after our recent capitalization was to explore our lead generation model. I was provided contact information for How to SaaS and was immediately impressed with the proven track record of the team. We spent the first 3 months designing a more aggressive go to market strategy, and began implementation shortly thereafter. The results have been better than I anticipated, and I would highly recommend How to SaaS for their knowledge, professionalism and competitive approach to ARR pipeline development.”

“How To SaaS is one of the best partners I’ve worked with.

Our team is much better positioned now to further grow marketing contribution to pipeline and generation more winnable SQLs."
Why marketing is the next big growth lever for SaaS companies and Private Equity investors
Most companies are under-leveraging the marketing potential of their business, while their sales teams are bloated and missing quota. With the right funding and strategy, marketing can help companies create far more enterprise value.
Marketing budgets are stagnant
Marketing gets 11% of the budget of B2B companies and this number has not increased in the last 5 years.
Meanwhile, 57% of sales reps will miss quota
This number is increasing every year. Sales reps are constantly onboarded and set up to fail.
Unsurprisingly, VP of Sales tenure is declining
In the last decade, VPs of Sales have seen their tenure decline below 2 years
The Disconnect: Sales needs more Marketing
Companies do not know how much marketing support is required to hit their ambitious revenue growth projections.
In most companies, Marketing is traditional and ineffective
Most B2B companies look at marketing as a supporting cast member, not a revenue driver.
CEOs are prioritizing Marketing and Demand Generation
CEOs rate marketing and demand gen as critical to solve. However, their confidence in their ability to solve them is low.
Investors are also prioritizing digital, including Go-To-Market
Investors are taking a multi-pronged approach towards capturing the digital value inside their portfolio.
Buyers want marketing more involved
They're getting just as much information from marketing as they are from sales at every stage of the buyer journey.
Marketing and Sales need to Go-To-Market together
Marketing needs to become revenue accountable inside B2B organizations, just like Sales.
