    Hi Rob, I am a founder of a ventured-back SaaS. We are running the business as a high touch funnel. I personally own a micro SaaS with low touch as well. Could you do a video to give more insights regarding how team structure and product fit into dual funnels and how it impacts the funding valuation given the metrics are so divided?

    If we get other requests for this kind of video we’ll consider it. I haven’t heard of dual funnels impacting valuations, whether funding or acquisition. Team structure is relatively simple - you’ll need a marketing team focused on optimizing the low-touch funnel and a sales team handling the high-end leads. The good news is if you do it really well, the low-touch funnel will feed your high-tough funnel without much need for outbound prospecting.

    hi Rob, great video. What do you think are the top strategies to scaling SaaS once you have 1000-10,000 customers - out of SEO, emails, paid advertising, Capterra/G2 partnerships?

    At that point, you’ll likely need a multi-prong approach to keep scaling at a decent growth rate. Depending on your business, all of the above can work. I cover ~20 SaaS marketing approaches in my new book, The SaaS Playbook if you are looking for more - saasplaybook.com

    Hi Mark, there’s no one ‘best’ sales funnel, as that will largely depend on your product and the customers you are targeting. But I would typically start with the low-touch funnel I described in this video, and go with my gut on whether to ask for credit card up front before the trial.
