NxtLevel Saas’ Post

🎙 On this week's episode of Lunch Tips with Leaders, I sit down with Jim Whatton, global leader of Solutions Consultants at SuccessKPI. We talked about his journey to leadership, how he went from a first time manager with a team of less than 10 to scale to a team of more than 200. And in this clip, he talks about the importance of having the Solutions Consultant in the room, the narrative they provide, and how to weave a powerful story. This, as well as our previous conversations, will be posted in full on our YouTube channel later this week 🙌 Like what you see?

Strategic planning is essential as you scale your SaaS business. Moving from $1M to $10M ARR requires not just operational excellence but also clear, strategic vision. This includes setting realistic milestones, understanding market dynamics, and preparing for scaling challenges. Regular strategy reviews with your team can help align efforts and adapt to changing conditions. How often do you engage in strategic planning sessions? What key learnings have emerged from these discussions that could benefit others in the SaaS community? #StrategicPlanning #SaaSGrowth #Leadership

Always be learning – a principle one of my mentors has emphasized every time we speak. With that in mind, I’m excited to start #CoverYourSaaS by GrowthCurve, a course specifically designed for SaaS leaders to enhance their financial acumen. In my experience, mastering the mechanics of your business allows you to: 🤔 Evaluate Opportunities and Resources Differently – By understanding tradeoffs and their impacts, you can engage in more meaningful conversations with leadership when assessing resources, programs, and projects. 🤑 Better Position Your Programs – Every company bets on key programs to drive revenue, growth, retention, and profitability. With a solid understanding of the financials, you will be more effective in presenting these programs.

Here is the story of this #Deck (and how 'leading with value' works in practice)... 1. I helped a bunch of Fractional Leaders figure out their Value Proposition - and noticed that this was the number 1 issue for them 2. Response from the Fractional Leaders on the advice was very positive, so I put on a (free) webinar to help Fractional Leaders looking to define their Value Proposition (at scale) 3. Response from Fractional Leaders on the webinar was again very positive, so I offered the webinar recoding up to folks on LinkedIn that reached out to me (allowing for even more scale) 4. Response from Fractional Leaders that watched the recording was once again very positive, so I am now just going to post the freggin' deck so that anyone that can benefit can just access it 😊 (the most scale!) Feel free to like, repost, comment and share with any Fractional/Fractional-Curious folks in your network that can benefit. And feel free to comment or DM me if you'd like to get the recording to see my ugly mug and get the full-experience 😎. Happy Wednesday everyone! #leadingwithvalue #Fractionalleadership #valueproposition
