867 SaaS: 80% yoy Growth, Badger Maps Passes $180k MRR

And so it's not that big of an investment.

867 SaaS: 80% yoy Growth, Badger Maps Passes $180k MRR

And if they buy an annual product that's worth $420 a year, it's worth the salesperson's time to get them on the phone and walk them through that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
867 SaaS: 80% yoy Growth, Badger Maps Passes $180k MRR

Uh, no, I wouldn't say it's typical.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
867 SaaS: 80% yoy Growth, Badger Maps Passes $180k MRR

We, uh, the, because it's a, it's a small price point, it's more of a team based model.

So it's more as a group where we're eating what we kill, but we have a, it's very, it's a very different field than a lot of other sales organizations.

And, and, you know, it's kind of a, a lot of times you even see people really, you know, account-based marketing and in that world, especially you'll see a salesperson really generating their own leads often, or at least most of their own leads and, uh, and then really working independently, closing the deal.

And then, uh, and then they reap the, the kind of the, the reward of the deal, I guess you would say the commission on it.
