The clock starts ticking as soon as a lead engages with one of your marketing campaigns. Timing is everything. If you wait longer than five minutes to respond after engagement, your conversion rate could potentially plummet by 80%.

I was recently talking with several SaaS companies that crossed certain customer count milestones. 1,000 paying customers. 5,000. 7,000 in one case. And I began to wonder: just exactly how many customers does the average public SaaS company have? The numbers make intuitive sense, but it’s helpful to see them broken about above for top SaaS and Cloud companies at < $2B ARR: The average public SaaS company has ~36,000 customers.

How does a token differ from equity? The answer is that tokens can act remarkably like equity if they are structured in the right way. In addition, tokens offer one benefit beyond equity: utility.

Let’s talk about a phenomenon called “ pitch-slapping. ”. You research a product through Google and click on a relevant landing page. Before you can even learn more about the product, you get slammed with content trying to pitch you. You hardly even know what they want you to buy, let alone why you should buy it.
