Turning SaaS Buyers into Satisfied Users

If you subscribe to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, in most cases you can quit whenever you want.*

That's great for SaaS customers, but not so great for SaaS providers.

It puts a special burden on providers:  They need to be sure that the folks buying their solution are actually using their solution.

If buyers don't become satisfied users, they'll eventually leave.  The result: attrition, slower growth, higher customer acquisition costs, and other bad things.  (See "SaaS Renewals and the Multiplier Effect").

In this short video, produced with the good folks at Openview Labs, I talk through 3 ways that SaaS providers can turn buyers into users. 





*We'll talk about long-term contracts some other time.
