Why this matters?
B2B SaaS are very different from consumer softwares. How different?
In a lot of cases, you’ll find yourself trying to sell something that doesn’t even make
sense to the average person.
In this webinar, we are going to introduce the key phases of a B2B SaaS product’s
lifecycle, and provide pragmatic advice on its GTM and growth.

B2C vs B2B at a Glance
© Growth Marketer Academy 2019 / PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL
B2C product B2B product
Users = customers* ≠ customers*
PMs are often consumers themselves are often NOT customers nor users
themselves
Metrics surrounding user behaviour
(engagement, retention, etc. “Power user”
concept is strong)
user behaviour is NOT the only thing
(SLA; reliability & stability; feature utilisation rate;
sales data, 
)
Development
lifecycle
usually shorter usually longer
Revenue NOT always paid by the customer
(from the users; ads; ecosystem)
from the customers directly
(usage/plan; add-on; API/SDKs; professional
service; training)
Channels of
distribution
where the users are
(mostly self-onboarded)
bottom up vs. top-down
(self-onboarded; sales-assisted; channel partners /
resellers)
B2C vs B2B Products
