How do we differentiate between B2B start-ups that sell to many vs. sell to a few? CTO, VP of HR) in the customer organization. Practically all consumer companies fall into the “sell to many” category, but what about on the enterprise side? Sell to few”: Traditional enterprise sales.

While its B2B social media team was attracting large audiences in its market, it failed to engage them because it lacked credible, regularly refreshed content. It’s a little like hawking a ‘get rich quick in real estate’ scheme at a TED conference. Wrong message, wrong audience.

Working the pain in B2B. So we went back to the minority who were already reviewing their code, either because of regulation, contractual obligation, or because it happens to be something the CTO believes in.

As HubSpot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah recently told BostInno , “We’ve wanted to not just build a great company, but also build some great entrepreneurs.” In a world which is increasingly won by startups who reach and then accelerate their product-market fit, not technology-market fit, this matters.

What triggered me to write about this is a post by afriend, who’s an experienced CTO and expert in AI. Something in common to all of them is the focus on technology vs the focus on solving a business pain. But B2B SaaS products like Descript, that can tell a story, instantly stand out.

Initially, we promoted it to a list that we’d already developed through Website Grader, the free app our CTO Dharmesh Shah had built before we even had a product. Even identifying as a demand-gen marketer or branding or B2B or B2C leaves a lot of decisions still on the table to actually execute. Where do you start?

If you run a SaaS business, or really if you run any B2B business, Revenue Engine: Why Revenue Performance Management is the Next Frontier of Competitive Advantage , will change the way you think about Sales and Marketing. One thing I didn’t love about the book is that it’s a little more theoretical than practical.

Hila Qu: I love when people think about the user journey because sometimes it's not thought about enough in B2B because it’s complicated. They’re the CEO, they’re the CTO, they never are interested in testing out the product as well. Can you grow a B2B company utilizing PLG without ever having the need for a sales team?
