    What Is SaaS (Software-As-A-Service)
    SaaS or Software-as-a-Service is a service software licensing and business model where customers pay a monthly or yearly subscription, and in return, they get to use the software. There are a few things that make SaaS sales different from traditional software sales. The main difference is for traditional software; you'll have to buy the software and host it yourself. And you'll also have to pay for upgrades. For SaaS, you pay a subscription, and the company that is selling the software does all the work when it comes to hosting and updating.
    Examples of SaaS Businesses
    Some examples of SaaS businesses include Netflix, SalesForce, HubSpot, Dropbox, and many more. Practically any company that offers software as a subscription could be considered a SaaS company.
    Why does SaaS and Tech need B2B Sales?
    The tech world will always need B2B sales. From SDRs to account executives, these roles are crucial for generating revenue for a business. For B2B software sales, the software price is relatively high for businesses so they prefer to talk to a representative to make sure their purchase will be the right fit for them.

    I just got in to SaaS sales. I'm in my first month as an account executive and I'm doing really well. The earning potential is amazing. What are your thoughts on making career moves and jumps? Do you suggest staying at your company for a certain amount of time before looking for new opportunities? I am still perfecting my sales skills and am learning something new daily. Thanks for your videos. Highly valuable and super crispy content.

      stay within a company for a maximum 2-3 years, then start looking for another position at a different company, maybe in a higher position, be sure to negotiate with the new company at least 30% of salary increase

    S/O to you brother. Really enjoying your content. I've brokered a deal with an agency from the Ukraine that builds SaaS platforms. I'm about to start selling their services within the African region first and globally as time goes on. So best believe, your content is truly taking me to school, when it comes to selling tech products and services.

      not every job requires travel. most are actually inside sales. there is no best position, it's just what you want to do. BDR is entry-level, and AE is a step above that.
