In this talk, five-time serial entrepreneur and author of the ForEntrepreneurs blog, David Skok, breaks this journey down into 9 distinct stages and explains the playbook at each stage. Warning: trying to force growth by skipping a step is the number one mistake entrepreneurs make, and it is often fatal.

Technical marketers are in high demand and low supply. Being able to dive into data on your own, with no help from engineering, makes you a much better marketer.
This is why SQL is so powerful - it allows you to see any data you want about anything your customers do. Knowing how to use SQL is literally a marketing superpower.
In this SQL tutorial specifically for marketers, I've pulled together SQL query basics that any marketer or data analyst will need to dig into their customer analytics. This course is the best resource for marketers, growth hackers and product managers who want to get more technical and learn SQL. It's what I wish existed when I was going through tutorial after tutorial, sifting through lots of information that didn't apply to me and trying to learn on my own.
SQL is simple enough that - just by learning a few concepts I cover above - you'll be able to use it for any kind of data analysis, cohort analysis or campaign breakdown.
Want more information? Check out resources on my blog - http://justinmares.com/sql

A high growth SaaS playbook. 12 metrics to drive success. 2 goals, present a simple model to understand SaaS business and show what levers a CEO can pull to get the most impact
There are seven key stages in a startup’s evolution from $0m to $50m in revenue. Understanding where you are in that evolution, and how to act at each stage is critical for success, as what is appropriate at one stage is not appropriate at another stage. David will lay out the roadmap, and detail the keys to success at each stage. The talk is aimed at technical/product founders plus their sales, marketing & product executives who are responsible for the go-to-market strategy for their company.
Building a Repeatable, Scalable & Profitable Growth ProcessDavid Skok
In a talk I gave at SaaS North 2017 conference in Ottawa, I talk about the fundamentals of building a repeatable, scalable, and profitable growth process for a startup.
In my talk at the 2017 LAUNCH SCALE conference in San Francisco, I discuss how to get inside your buyer's head to increase funnel conversion rates. In the talk, I cover:
- How to design and build a buyer-centric sales funnel that has low CAC and fast sales cycles.
- How to figure out why your sales funnel isn't working as well as it could be, and how to fix it.
- How to understand the way buyers react to your funnel, and how to use that knowledge to increase funnel conversion rates.
The SaaS Founder’s Journey: What Matters at Each StageDavid Skok
From a talk given at SaaStock 2017 in Dublin, this slide deck covers the three stages of a startup, the most important question founders should be asking to ensure survival/success, and how to build and scale a sales funnel.
Optimize Your Funnel By Getting Inside Your Buyer's HeadDavid Skok
Part of finding product/market fit is turning early wins into repeatable, scalable, and profitable sales. In this talk given as part of the Heavybit speaker series, I discuss how to shorten the time to customer conversion from trials, freemium and open source products.
This presentation is from my talk at the 2017 SaaStr Annual Conference in San Francisco. It offers an overview of a simple model to understand a SaaS business and the key levers a CEO can pull to get the most impact. The presentation covers:
Optimizing the SaaS Funnel:
- Get inside your customer’s head
- Break down the funnel into microsteps
- Identify bottlenecks
- Use funnel math to make improvements
12 key levers within the funnel:
1) Product/Market fit
2) Top of the funnel flow
3) Conversion rate
4) CAC (customer acquisition cost)
5) Number of sales people
6) PPR (productivity per rep)
7) Getting enough leads
8) Pricing
9) Customer retention rate
10) Dollar retention rate
11) Months to recover CAC
12) Recruiting, onboarding & management
SaaS/subscription businesses are much more complex than traditional businesses, and SaaS performance cannot be measured in the same way as traditional businesses are measured. Based on a talk given at the SaaStr Annual Conference in San Francisco, this slide deck offers a comprehensive and detailed look at the key metrics that are needed to understand and optimize a SaaS business, and how these can be used to drive SaaS success. This presentation includes information on:
- An intro to SaaS metrics
- Unit economics
- LTV and churn: An in-depth look
- Variable pricing axes
- Months to recover CAC
- The primary unit of growth: Sales
- Understanding public SaaS companies
How Startups Can Build a Recruiting MachineDavid Skok
Something important has changed in the recruiting process: the best people are almost never on the market, and you have to develop recruiting processes to find and sell passive candidates. In many cases, it will take months or years of relationship building with these candidates to find the right moment when they are open to considering a change. Closing them takes greater selling efforts than in the past due to the intense competition over the good candidates. This leads me to believe that there is now a third crucial startup skill that needs to be developed: recruiting.
A detailed look at why SaaS business are so different from traditional software companies, and why traditional ways of looking at their finances fail to understand the business. Provides an alternative set of metrics that show the right way to look at a SaaS business.

2. Explosive growth! YouTube Facebook Zynga Groupon Twitter Gilt Groupe All have set records for growth rates The key is Virality
3. The Power of Viral Marketing When it works it is Free!! Far more effective than paid promotions and advertising campaigns If done well can be self-sustaining + growth Unfortunately rarely achieved!
4. The Best Business Model Virally acquired customers are free Monetization(LTV) Cost ofCustomerAcquisition(CoCA)
5. Topics The Science behind Viral Marketing How to do Viral Marketing Optimizing for Virality Making this work for your business Examples
6. Where my experiences come from Tabblo Photosharing site Founded by Antonio Rodriguez, 2005 Acquired by HP within 18 months Great investment return All credit is owed to Antonio Rodriguez
8. The Math behind Virality Key variables: Custs(0) The initial set of customers i The number of invites sent out conv% The percentage of invites that convert into customers
9. The Viral Coefficient K The Viral Coefficient K = no of invites x The conversion % (i x conv%) Turns out to be a very important variable. It equals the number of new customers that each customer is able to successfully invite.
11. The Formula New custs added in this cycle = New custs added in the previous cycle x K Assumes that customers only send out invites once, and not continuously in every later cycle To calculate the number of customers at any particular cycle (c): Custs(c) = Custs(c-1) + NewCusts(c)
14. What we learned Viral Coefficient must be > 1 to have viral growth Viral Growth is a compounding phenomenon Increasing the Viral Coefficient has a big impact on the rate of growth
15. YouTube versus Tabblo Both started around the same time YouTube’s growth massively outstripped Tabblo What was happening here?
16. Tabblo’s Viral Loop User discovered Tabblo Wait till they take some photos Upload Share (i.e. invite others) Some portion of those think, this is great, I want to use this myself Wait till they take some photos Upload Etc.
17. YouTube’s Viral Loop User discovers YouTube Sees some hilariously funny content Decides to share that with friends Friends see hilariously funny content Decide to share that with their friends The time to infect is far shorter!
18. A More Sophisticated Formula t = timect = cycle time Thanks to Stan Reissfor help with the forumula
19. What this tells us Raised to the Power of … Multiplier Shortening the cycle time has a far bigger effect than changing Viral coefficient!
24. The Basics Figure out the Viral Hook What makes people want to share content? Content or Product/Service Initial Seeding Use communications networks to spread Email, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. Refresh & Re-seed
25. Figure out the Viral Hook Something very compelling that the user wants to share
26. Viral Hook - What works: Something of Value: Applications Educational content Data Things of monetary value (Discounts and coupons) Something entertaining Humor Games News Inherently Viral Services Email, Skype, etc. Other?
27. Why do people share? A paper on that here: http://marketing.wharton.upenn.edu/documents/research/Virality.pdf http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/09/science/09tier.html (summary) Virality driven by physiological arousal High arousal, Postive (awe) – most likely to be shared High arousal, Negative (anger or anxiety) – less likely Low arousal, de-activating (sadness) – unlikely
32. Inherently Viral Applications The most viral apps are those that are require sharing to work properly: HotMail Skype YouTube FaceBook Etc.
33. Initial Seeding The bigger your initial seeding the better Identify Influencers Reach / Influence Klout, SocMetrics and other services emerging to help Develop the right relationship Listen, Strategize, Engage, Measure Paid Seeding Paid search, Virool.com, etc.
34. Spread through Communications Networks Early days this was email Social Networks have turbo-charged sharing What you want: Low effort for the user doing the sharing
35. Refreshing and Re-Seeding Google Search (paid and organic) Creates new seeding New Blog posts Cause your existing readers to re-invite Farmville, etc. Continue to invite by regular posts to your wall
51. Another strategy Offer a reward both to the user and to their friend Overcomes the feeling of being sleazy Can lead to much higher success rates
52. Lessons Learned Maximize the number of invites they send out Leverage tools that provide easy reach to their friends: Twitter Facebook: post to their News Stream LinkedIn Automate access to their address book Works well for GMail, and other on-line address books Etc.
53. Lessons Learned Look for ways to automate the whole invitation process No thinking required No work required
54.
55. Don’t just invite once Look for ways to keep repeating invites E.g. Facebook games like Farmville that post to your News Stream
56. Lessons Learned Look for other ways to get your customers to tell their friends about you Example: ConstantContact’s email signature
58. Lessons Learned Hybrid Viral Even if you can’t get a viral coefficient > 1you can still enhance customer acquisitionwith some virality
59. Lessons Learned The Viral Loop is an important Funnel Design each step carefully Simplify and eliminate manual steps Test for adequate motivations and incentives Address concerns A/B test each step Metrics to evaluate and improve
61. What can go wrong? - Branchout Social networks are for hanging out with friends Not promoting your business Branchout (recruiting app on Facebook) Spammed users walls with way too many entries
