$ELLING 
SOFTWARE 
as a SERVICE
hi :) 
I’m Frederik, 
the design founder of 
a startup called Prezly
My team is building an online 
service that helps brands pitch 
stories to their media contacts 
Gijs 
Developer 
Jesse 
Strategist 
Me 
Designer
It turns out that finding users 
and getting them to part with 
their money is no easy task
It took my team years to find an 
efficient way of getting new customers
Now we bootstrapped to a profitable business 
with 20% month over month growth.
Our hard earned approach 
Get organised 
Follow a system 
Work the sales funnel

GET 
ORGANISED
Our team 
is all over the globe 
Oli, sales 
London 
Founding team 
Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven 
David, sales 
Dubai 
Thomas, sales 
Toronto 
Robin, content 
San Francisco
Working separately sometimes makes it 
difficult for everyone to stay on the same track. 
Me so lonely :(
We use a dedicated chat 
system where everyone 
that’s working meets. 
! 
It’s our command center. 
! 
Seeing that other people 
are also working helps me 
stay motivated.
A SaaS company has so many moving parts 
that it can be hard to keep an overview. 
Sales 
pipeline 
Payments 
Task 
management

Customer

Social media

Lead

For each part we use specific other SaaS. 
The less we have to build and maintain 
ourselves, the better.

To keep an overview we feed most of these 
services in our command center.

That’s the foundation 
We haven’t spoken about 
getting clients yet… brace yourself.

FOLLOW 
A SYSTEM
There are so many moving 
parts in a software company 
that we needed a way to 
structure the sales process. 
! 
Pirate metrics was the answer.
Pirate metrics 
5 key stages & 
metrics for 
subscription 
services 
!
Acquisition 
Activation 
Retention 
Referral 
Revenue 
! 
AARRR
It’s a funnel that you need to pull 
people through 
Acquisition Engaged visitors 60% 
Activation Sign up 15% 
Retention Trial users come back 5% 
Referral Users refer others 1% 
Revenue Users pay 2% 
Not real conversion data. Your mileage may vary.

WORK 
THE SALES 
FUNNEL
We use tactics & tools for each step. 
Beware, this is only our approach. 
! 
I’ll take you through it in the next 70 slides. 
Hold on, things might get bumpy.
Acquisition 
Hundreds of thousands of people don’t 
know our product yet. Let’s get them on 
our website.
Getting leads 
Content marketing 
! 
! 
Direct sales
Content marketing 
Earning the right peoples’ attention via 
targeted content
Metric: 
referral traffic 
‣ From social 
‣ From other sites 
Google Analytics: 
Filter out bounces so you only 
measure engaged people
Our stories are 
the main traffic driver
We do monthly brainstorms to generate 
new ideas. Everyone comes prepared with a 
list and we help each other improve. 
We separate yes moments and no moments. 
Selection of ideas comes afterwards.
Meet the 
Skyscraper technique 
A way to publish content that gets results 
1. Find successful stories. 
2. Make them better. 
3. Promote with people that 
would be interested. 
Skyscraper guide
Here’s an example. 
We use to find popular stories in 
our niche, Public Relations. 
Popular niche site Popular story
Popular story 
It got shared a lot 
Even though the 
content is a bit… 
Meh…
Our ‘improved’ 
version of it 
See it 
More examples in this 
Skyscraper guide 〉
Damn, that sounds 
like a lot of work! 
It is, and it can be daunting. 
! 
With every story I get better at 
it. What works well is carving 
out distraction-free time in 
mornings to write. 
“
Get a 
content calendar 
It will help you keep a steady pace 
Content calendar tips 〉
Guest posting 
on popular niche sites 
That’s giving us a lot of good visitors and signups. 
! 
Find popular highly targeted places with a high 
Google pagerank. Oftentimes they are interested 
in running stories by guest bloggers. 
Guest blogging guide 〉
Build links 
Use a tool like Buzzstream to assess the value of 
sites and to reach out to the editors. 
Link building guide 〉
Why would they 
listen to me? “ 
You’re a topic expert or at 
least trying to become 
one. Do your research. 
People are generally 
friendly and open to get 
guest posts if you did 
your homework.
Promote 
the content 
Creating the content is just the beginning. 
The hardest part is getting people to share it. 
! 
‣ Contact the people that originally shared it 
‣ Get high profile people on board 
‣ Share it multiple times yourself
Contact 
the original sharers 
They are likely also interested in your story. 
Find the sharers with the biggest reach.
Share it many times 
on social media 
When you publish 
A few hours later 
A day later 
A week after 
A month later 
Six months later 
Reposting guide 〉
Automate & track 
Next week 
Next month
In summary, 
this is how we do content: 
! 
✔ Know & improve the stories that potential 
clients love 
✔ Tell the stories on a popular niche site 
✔ Promote the hell out of the stories
“When do you sleep? 
At night, just like you. 
! 
After learning how to do this 
ourselves we now outsource 
a lot of the hands-on writing 
work.
Direct sales 
Finding & convincing leads
Why 
do direct sales? 
‣ Get high profile clients for social proof 
‣ Get feedback about the needs of the market 
and solution
Selling doesn't come naturally to me. I’m more 
of an introvert. But after a year of trying it has 
now even become fun. 
! 
I now love the hunt.
Create a list 
of top prospects 
‣ Start sector by sector based on current 
references. 
‣ Follow them on social media. Interact. 
‣ Send personalised email or even better: call.
Expose 
team activity 
‣ Tasks 
‣ Pipeline 
updates
I used to be terrified of 
cold calling prospects. 
! 
What helped get better 
was preparation: 
- Fake cold calls with my 
team members to get 
the hang of it. 
- Researching the 
prospects and getting 
on their radar so it 
wouldn't be a cold call.
Make it a 
team sport 
‣ Carve out time to cold 
call together. 
‣ Compare tactics. Listen in. 
‣ Track & celebrate successes.
Manage sales pipeline 
in a CRM 
‣ Track the status of your leads 
‣ Enrich their profiles 
‣ Capture all interactions 
‣ Set reminders
Visual guide to selling software as a service by @prezly
Create a stellar 
sales pitch 
I got a lot of mileage 
out of this book 
‣ Learn how to tell an intriguing 
story about your solution. 
‣ Get a designer to help with 
your sales deck. 
‣ Practice, practice, practice,…
You love your solution 
so it’s tempting to keep 
talking about it, showing 
every nook and cranny. 
That didn’t work well. 
Now it’s the other way 
around. It’ about the 
problems of the industry. 
It’s concise. It keeps 
them wanting more.
Measure & 
learn what works 
These are just the channels 
for our B2B SaaS. Your 
mileage may vary. In any 
case: measure what works.
Activation 
People could be reading our blog or 
visiting a tour page but might not feel 
like signing up yet 
Let’s get visitors to try our service
Metric: 
% signups 
A custom Google Analytics report 
that lets me track the progress.
Activating visitors 
Test & improve the signup funnel 
! 
! 
Guide visitors via chat
A/B testing 
Test & improve the signup funnel
Fix leaky 
signup funnels 
Whaaat? 
Only 5% of people that visit the 
homepage get to the signup page. 
Not good. 
The homepage 
clearly needs 
improvement.
A/B test landing pages 
& pages in signup funnel 
A/B testing guide with examples 〉 
50% visitors 
see variation A 
50% visitors 
see variation B 
Variation A 
Variation B 
5% 
conversion 
9% 
conversion
An example:
It’s easy to forget these tests. 
Again, planning helps. Every month we do 
status meetings where I present the results. 
That’s also the moment when we come up 
with new experiments.
Live chat 
Talk with visitors and learn
Be available 
to chat with visitors 
‣ You’ll learn about their expectations 
& questions 
‣ You’ll be able to help them 
! 
We use 
It integrates with Skype
Retention 
People might have signed up but it 
might not be a good time for them
Metric: 
% trial users that return 
A cohort retention overview with Mixpanel.
Engaging visitors 
Behavioural mails 
! 
Newsletter 
Evaluate signups 
! 
Stellar support
Evaluate signups 
Find the good fish
The whole team used to be responsible for 
following up signups. 
The result: it didn’t happen. 
People thought someone 
else would do it. 
Now only Jesse does it. 
It’s done a lot better now.
Get event driven analytics 
‣ You’ll see what individual people do. 
‣ Define user actions that are important for you.
Stellar support 
Service is part of the product
Again, it’s imperative to respond well and fast. 
Jesse, our customer success manager, is 
usually the first to help someone out. He 
dispatches to the rest of the team if needed.
Get a support system 
To stay sane managing customer feedback.
Get a knowledge base 
Oftentimes support questions can be answered 
with content from the knowledge base. We try to 
put new answers in there.
Behavioral mails 
Send emails based on what users do 
… or don’t do
Send users email 
to help them along 
Signed up 
Ask how we can help them 
Hasn’t used core functionality 
Show benefits 
Trial about to expire 
Create urgency
‣ You don’t need to build this yourself 
‣ Test email variations 
Email onboarding guide
Newsletters 
Keep sharing good stories
Every time we send a 
newsletter site visits 
go through the roof 
In the stats you can 
discover interested 
prospects 
Story 
Product 
Product
Referral 
The user likes your product so much she 
refers other new users
Metric: 
Net Promoter Score 
The number of people who would recommend 
your product to a friend. 
To many people this is the one true indicator 
that your product will be a succes. 
We ask it regularly to users via
“How likely is it you would 
recommend my product to a friend 
or colleague? 
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Detractor Passive Promoter 
NPS = % promoters - % detractors 
Net promotor guide 〉
Revenue 
The user pays 
Jay!
Drawing stick figures is what I do well. 
Managing money not. 
! 
Luckily my colleague Jesse is. 
He makes sure we all get paid. 
! 
Here’s his advice. 
Hi!
Metric: 
Monthly Recurring Revenue 
‣ The MRR is omnipresent in our control center 
to remind the team of our progress. 
‣ Together with Net Promotor Score this is the 
main number that we’re working to improve.
Accounting & invoicing 
gets shared with the team 
Good for motivation & to see the behind the 
scenes work that’s done by Jesse.
Automate billing 
by integrating services 
Accounting Payments 
‣ Use an accounting system with an API. 
‣ Automate, but double check manually.
In summary: 
The pirate metrics approach 
Acquisition 
Activation 
Retention 
Referral

Visual guide to selling software as a service by @prezly

  • 1. VISUAL GUIDE to $ELLING SOFTWARE as a SERVICE
  • 2. hi :) I’m Frederik, the design founder of a startup called Prezly
  • 3. My team is building an online service that helps brands pitch stories to their media contacts Gijs Developer Jesse Strategist Me Designer
  • 4. It turns out that finding users and getting them to part with their money is no easy task
  • 5. It took my team years to find an efficient way of getting new customers
  • 6. Now we bootstrapped to a profitable business with 20% month over month growth.
  • 7. Our hard earned approach Get organised Follow a system Work the sales funnel 1 2 3
  • 9. Our team is all over the globe Oli, sales London Founding team Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven David, sales Dubai Thomas, sales Toronto Robin, content San Francisco
  • 10. Working separately sometimes makes it difficult for everyone to stay on the same track. Me so lonely :(
  • 11. We use a dedicated chat system where everyone that’s working meets. ! It’s our command center. ! Seeing that other people are also working helps me stay motivated.
  • 12. A SaaS company has so many moving parts that it can be hard to keep an overview. Sales pipeline Payments Task management Sales pitching Customer support Social media updates Lead generation Lead nurturing Conversion optimising Servers User on boarding Metrics Public relations Advertising Accounting
  • 13. For each part we use specific other SaaS. The less we have to build and maintain ourselves, the better. Jenkins Get overview of all our tools
  • 14. Jenkins To keep an overview we feed most of these services in our command center.
  • 15. Updates from our task management tool
  • 16. Tasks and updates in the sales pipeline
  • 19. Support tickets and their status
  • 20. Want to save this for later? Download the PDF
  • 21. That’s the foundation We haven’t spoken about getting clients yet… brace yourself.
  • 22. 2 FOLLOW A SYSTEM
  • 23. There are so many moving parts in a software company that we needed a way to structure the sales process. ! Pirate metrics was the answer.
  • 24. Pirate metrics 5 key stages & metrics for subscription services !
  • 25. Acquisition Activation Retention Referral Revenue ! AARRR
  • 26. It’s a funnel that you need to pull people through Acquisition Engaged visitors 60% Activation Sign up 15% Retention Trial users come back 5% Referral Users refer others 1% Revenue Users pay 2% Not real conversion data. Your mileage may vary.
  • 27. 3 WORK THE SALES FUNNEL
  • 28. We use tactics & tools for each step. Beware, this is only our approach. ! I’ll take you through it in the next 70 slides. Hold on, things might get bumpy.
  • 29. Acquisition Hundreds of thousands of people don’t know our product yet. Let’s get them on our website.
  • 30. Getting leads Content marketing ! ! Direct sales
  • 31. Content marketing Earning the right peoples’ attention via targeted content
  • 32. Metric: referral traffic ‣ From social ‣ From other sites Google Analytics: Filter out bounces so you only measure engaged people
  • 33. Our stories are the main traffic driver
  • 34. We do monthly brainstorms to generate new ideas. Everyone comes prepared with a list and we help each other improve. We separate yes moments and no moments. Selection of ideas comes afterwards.
  • 35. Meet the Skyscraper technique A way to publish content that gets results 1. Find successful stories. 2. Make them better. 3. Promote with people that would be interested. Skyscraper guide
  • 36. Here’s an example. We use to find popular stories in our niche, Public Relations. Popular niche site Popular story
  • 37. Popular story It got shared a lot Even though the content is a bit… Meh…
  • 38. Our ‘improved’ version of it See it More examples in this Skyscraper guide 〉
  • 39. Damn, that sounds like a lot of work! It is, and it can be daunting. ! With every story I get better at it. What works well is carving out distraction-free time in mornings to write. “
  • 40. Get a content calendar It will help you keep a steady pace Content calendar tips 〉
  • 41. Guest posting on popular niche sites That’s giving us a lot of good visitors and signups. ! Find popular highly targeted places with a high Google pagerank. Oftentimes they are interested in running stories by guest bloggers. Guest blogging guide 〉
  • 42. Build links Use a tool like Buzzstream to assess the value of sites and to reach out to the editors. Link building guide 〉
  • 43. Why would they listen to me? “ You’re a topic expert or at least trying to become one. Do your research. People are generally friendly and open to get guest posts if you did your homework.
  • 44. Promote the content Creating the content is just the beginning. The hardest part is getting people to share it. ! ‣ Contact the people that originally shared it ‣ Get high profile people on board ‣ Share it multiple times yourself
  • 45. Contact the original sharers They are likely also interested in your story. Find the sharers with the biggest reach.
  • 46. Share it many times on social media When you publish A few hours later A day later A week after A month later Six months later Reposting guide 〉
  • 47. Automate & track Next week Next month
  • 48. In summary, this is how we do content: ! ✔ Know & improve the stories that potential clients love ✔ Tell the stories on a popular niche site ✔ Promote the hell out of the stories
  • 49. “When do you sleep? At night, just like you. ! After learning how to do this ourselves we now outsource a lot of the hands-on writing work.
  • 50. Direct sales Finding & convincing leads
  • 51. Why do direct sales? ‣ Get high profile clients for social proof ‣ Get feedback about the needs of the market and solution
  • 52. Selling doesn't come naturally to me. I’m more of an introvert. But after a year of trying it has now even become fun. ! I now love the hunt.
  • 53. Create a list of top prospects ‣ Start sector by sector based on current references. ‣ Follow them on social media. Interact. ‣ Send personalised email or even better: call.
  • 54. Expose team activity ‣ Tasks ‣ Pipeline updates
  • 55. I used to be terrified of cold calling prospects. ! What helped get better was preparation: - Fake cold calls with my team members to get the hang of it. - Researching the prospects and getting on their radar so it wouldn't be a cold call.
  • 56. Make it a team sport ‣ Carve out time to cold call together. ‣ Compare tactics. Listen in. ‣ Track & celebrate successes.
  • 57. Manage sales pipeline in a CRM ‣ Track the status of your leads ‣ Enrich their profiles ‣ Capture all interactions ‣ Set reminders
  • 59. Create a stellar sales pitch I got a lot of mileage out of this book ‣ Learn how to tell an intriguing story about your solution. ‣ Get a designer to help with your sales deck. ‣ Practice, practice, practice,…
  • 60. You love your solution so it’s tempting to keep talking about it, showing every nook and cranny. That didn’t work well. Now it’s the other way around. It’ about the problems of the industry. It’s concise. It keeps them wanting more.
  • 61. Measure & learn what works These are just the channels for our B2B SaaS. Your mileage may vary. In any case: measure what works.
  • 62. Activation People could be reading our blog or visiting a tour page but might not feel like signing up yet Let’s get visitors to try our service
  • 63. Metric: % signups A custom Google Analytics report that lets me track the progress.
  • 64. Activating visitors Test & improve the signup funnel ! ! Guide visitors via chat
  • 65. A/B testing Test & improve the signup funnel
  • 66. Fix leaky signup funnels Whaaat? Only 5% of people that visit the homepage get to the signup page. Not good. The homepage clearly needs improvement.
  • 67. A/B test landing pages & pages in signup funnel A/B testing guide with examples 〉 50% visitors see variation A 50% visitors see variation B Variation A Variation B 5% conversion 9% conversion
  • 69. It’s easy to forget these tests. Again, planning helps. Every month we do status meetings where I present the results. That’s also the moment when we come up with new experiments.
  • 70. Live chat Talk with visitors and learn
  • 71. Be available to chat with visitors ‣ You’ll learn about their expectations & questions ‣ You’ll be able to help them ! We use It integrates with Skype
  • 72. Retention People might have signed up but it might not be a good time for them
  • 73. Metric: % trial users that return A cohort retention overview with Mixpanel.
  • 74. Engaging visitors Behavioural mails ! Newsletter Evaluate signups ! Stellar support
  • 75. Evaluate signups Find the good fish
  • 76. The whole team used to be responsible for following up signups. The result: it didn’t happen. People thought someone else would do it. Now only Jesse does it. It’s done a lot better now.
  • 77. Get event driven analytics ‣ You’ll see what individual people do. ‣ Define user actions that are important for you.
  • 78. Stellar support Service is part of the product
  • 79. Again, it’s imperative to respond well and fast. Jesse, our customer success manager, is usually the first to help someone out. He dispatches to the rest of the team if needed.
  • 80. Get a support system To stay sane managing customer feedback.
  • 81. Get a knowledge base Oftentimes support questions can be answered with content from the knowledge base. We try to put new answers in there.
  • 82. Behavioral mails Send emails based on what users do … or don’t do
