Are you a aspiring SaaS entrepreneur? There’s a new course out that I wish I had back when I started in 2018 — the SaaS Launchpad by Rob Walling 🚀. Rob’s been in the SaaS game for longer than most, and I regularly turn to his podcast for advice. He’s had major successes, including the sale of Drip, and runs thriving businesses like MicroConf and TinySeed. If you’re serious about launching your SaaS business, this is arguably the best resource available right now. Early access is priced at $499, but trust me, it could (and probably will) save you tens of thousands down the road. https://lnkd.in/erXHw8Y9 #saas #bootstrapping

Recurring revenue = not just a SaaS thing? There are two stereotypes about professional services that make them generally less appealing (at least as stand-alone businesses): - They are unpredictable, with no recurring revenue stream - They do not scale effectively Are these assumptions necessarily true? Manuel challenges these myths about the "downsides" of service businesses, agencies and consultancies. He provides several examples of how to offer productized services and what founders of SaaS companies need to consider before scaling their businesses from his experience of helping shape 320+ GTM teams. #ScalingStores by Tackle x SalesPlaybook, Episode 2
