1.
RESPONSIVENESS
IS KEY
Running a SaaS business
means it's likely you'll get
support queries at all
hours of the day
(especially if your
customer base is
global!)
But even if you're out to
dinner,
2MINUTES
is all it takes to
answer a tweet or
support query
You'll plant the seeds of a
great relationship with
your users by letting
them know you're
listening,
and you won't build up a
backlog of unanswered
concerns
You don't want to burn
out by worrying
24/7
2.
RUNNING A
BUSINESS ISN'T A
9-TO-5GIG
about your business,
BUT...
That doesn't mean you
should forget about
your business
AFTER5PM
The SaaS biz is always
moving,so keep your
business in the back of
your mind
and soon you'll be making
connections and seeing new
opportunities everywhere!
So stop trying to
achieve that
perfect work-life
balance
