Here are our top 10 pitfalls to avoid for new SaaS players entering into the Physical Security Market.

-
Industry Advisors
Be careful when utilizing industry advisors who have never positioned a SaaS offering. They might understand how to sell a tangible product, but using their business advice might set you back.
-
SaaS Centric
If you’ve gotten funding, don’t over-hire, instead focus on start up executives who understand; SaaS MRR, CAC, CLV, etc.
-
Channel Partner Rewards
New SaaS products are entering the market every day; a new product is hot, and then something else will grab attention, so keep your momentum by developing lasting Channel Partner programs that focus on rewarding loyalty.
-
Become a Reciprocal Business Partner
Don’t over-rely on Channel Partners to drive new business; you must own your pipeline and become a reciprocal business partner.
-
Tiered Selling
Use tiered selling. Most manufacturers exclusively hire; Regional Sales Managers, Sales Directors, Business Development Managers, and Account Executives. They’re needed; however, none of those roles are focused on prospecting.
-
Sales Development Representatives
Hire SDRs to focus on building your sales funnel with a blend of End-User and Channel Partner engagement, allowing your sales team to drive new business by co-selling.
-
Playbook and Workflow
Develop a solid playbook strategy with SDRs and AE/BDM/RSM.
-
Excellent Demonstrations
Focus on providing excellent live demonstrations. Build a demo around your prospects pain points and challenges, make sure you review these and skip irrelevant features.
-
Customer Journey
Map out your customer’s journey, focus on the onboarding process, and ongoing customer satisfaction.
-
Vertical Success
Understand the verticals where you’ll have the highest success rate. Make your message simple and clear to help your SDRs communicate your value proposition.
