Introducing GTM Mentors APAC, a new series by talking tenets. Episode #1 with Nathan Schubert: The new SaaS economics of Go To Market - Implications for Sellers & Sales Leaders A GTM and RevOps expert with a unique background, he's also been an AE. Most recently he was Head of GTM - New Products with Go1. He believes that unit economics are broken in many SaaS orgs. Lean is better to combat the challenges of unit economics and the importance of optimizing CAC payback time. The way in which SaaS companies achieve this can have far-reaching implications for AEs. If done well, AEs could find greater support from a unified sales, marketing and RevOps team, be laser focused and intentional on a the right customers, at the right time. Done poorly, AEs will face more pressure to do much more, with less support. 🔗 Listen or Watch now (Links in comments).

💡APAC business insight #1 from COO Nick Evered: YOU CAN’T ALWAYS CLOSE BY OFFERING A DISCOUNT    Nick says: “Most software companies are quarterly-driven beasts, so there is always pressure to drive hard to close out deals."    “Customers know this and that they’ll get the best possible price at the end of each quarter or the end of a year. Often customers will hold out as long as they can… then push for an extra discount even when they know (although they don't tell you) that their purchase process may well go past the end of the quarter. Then they still hold you to that price afterward. It’s nearly impossible to go back on a price once it’s on the table.”    Nick’s advice: “Senior people buy from people they trust. That is, people they believe will invest in the success of the project and make sure they are not exposed when challenges arise. Senior people don’t buy from executives who fly in and fly out. If you have trust, you will know when the deal will close, and the process to get it done.”    📖(About Nick: Nick Evered, COO of Sales Innovation, first visited Asia in 1990 while working for a 'Big Six' consulting firm on assignment in Malaysia. He successfully resolved a critical network issue for a multi-national tobacco company. Throughout the nineties, Nick commuted frequently to Asia and eventually moved to Singapore in the early 2000s. Nick has gained valuable insights into the region with over three and a half decades of experience working across Asia, from Singapore to Korea). We’ll be sharing more advice from Nick soon. Do share your insights and experience on sales discounts in the comments below. 👉Want more business insight from Nick?
