SaaS Metrics for India B2B

When we started selling our Cloud telephony platform , we had very little idea of what metrics to concentrate on. So we just built the product and winged it :) Now after 4 years, we have a pretty good command of what metrics to concentrate on. What works, what doesn't. Which channels are better and which sales techniques work. We learnt this the hard way and by reading blogs by David Skok, Jason Lemkin and Tom Tunguz. They did provide some benchmarks to go on. But nothing specific to the circumstances in India. Looking around, we realize that we are in a very special situation. Since we concentrated only on India for our product, we have SaaS revenue from only Indian customers . This gives a nice opportunity to start creating some benchmarks. Unfortunately there are not many hard numbers out there which can help new India B2B SaaS companies. So in the interest of transparency, we are sharing the SaaS metrics for our Cloudagent product.

The title is the anti thesis of startup advice. In fact everyone would advise the opposite. So why is that the title of the blog post? Its because thats exactly our story.

Ughh.... On second thought, I dont know whose web sites those are :) So with the befit of hindsight let me try to see why we survived. 1. Timing: Startup boom in India was just starting. And since startups are early adapters, they actively searched the Internet and found us. This is where blogging worked I think as people found us when they searched. 2. Competition: When you just build your product and wait for peopl

NGO IVRs powered by KooKoo-Ozonetel
