If you’re looking to scale up your SaaS business , you may have considered hiring a marketing agency. Rather than hiring a bunch of marketing people in-house and figuring out a process from scratch, it can sometimes be more cost-efficient to hire an agency, plug your business model into their existing systems, and press play.

You blame the market, but often that’s just overlooking the real problem. A product strategy is often the missing link that would convert your efforts into actual revenue. An economic downturn, a war — you name it. Tough market conditions would cause your sales to dramatically drop or even cease.

The reason it took so long is that finding the right product strategy is a bidirectional dance with the market , and we need to take the new strategy attempts to the market and see our potential customers’ feedback before we can get any insight on how it works and go back to the drawing board to make it better and more precise.

In the beginning, you reveal the bigger things that need to change in your current strategy (for example, some companies I work with understand that they need to solve a different problem than the one they are currently solving, or address a different market segment).
