Ep. 90 – Why Most SaaS Companies Get Positioning Wrong – with Anthony Pierri

SaaS Backwards - Reverse Engineering SaaS Success

Effective messaging is paramount for SaaS companies to attract and convert the right types of customers. And according to this week’s guest Anthony Pierri, Partner with Fletch PMM, most are getting it wrong.

• They try to speak to too many audiences at once.
• They use vague and broad statements that don’t resonate with anyone.
• They use wishy washy language.

Today’s marketers have been influenced by big companies that prioritize branding and awareness, which won’t be an effective strategy for the cash-conscious startups.
Instead, companies should focus on product marketing and differentiation to clearly communicate their unique value proposition front and center on the homepage throughout all content.
Don’t miss this episode where Pierri outlines their process for that.
Key Takeaways:

• Why use case positioning is probably going to be the most effective for B2B SaaS.
• How to align your messaging to your target audience’s struggles and pain points.
• Why you should use specific benefits to differentiate.
