Ask HN: Why there is no demand for my SaaS when competition is killing it?
I posted to all channels (except HN) yet I don't see much demand. We clearly see how businesses, small and large, could benefit from our SaaS saving their staff at least 10 hours for real. Our initial testing shows it works great.
Is there slump in SaaS selling or are we doing something wrong. I am pretty sure it is the later.
Why businesses, especially marketing/sales leaders or product managers, won't show interest in our SaaS. My competition research shows they are growing fast.
Yet, I can't get anyone to use it for free when we clearly add more value for 1:1 feature comparision.
Am I missing something? Has all marketing changed to paid campaigns on Google or Influencer marketing on X, TikTok? We don't have a big (or even medium size) budget.
How do I sell my SaaS to SMBs and large corporations when they don't even reply.
your users are most likely going to stick with: products they already know, or something that's already popular. To entice users away from the competition, they need to see a clear value proposition that addresses their pain points, and preferably not just in marketing copy.
