Just because your business is new or small doesn't mean you can't compete with the big guys. In fact, smaller businesses often have unique advantages. For example, they can be nimble and do things that don't scale.

In this episode, Salesflare founder and CEO, Jeroen Corthout, shares how he entered a crowded industry (CRM) — and managed to build a business with thousands of customers. He discusses the marketing tactics he tried and reveal what worked... and what didn't.

#0065 What does it take to start and run your own SaaS (Software as as Service) business?

How do you build an audience?

How do you know your software is one that your audience will want?

The last thing you want to do is pump a ton of time and effort into something your ideal client doesn't want.

Today, we are chatting with Jeroen Corthout, Co-Founder of SalesFlare, about how they managed to plan, build, launch, and grow their own CRM software.

Throughout the episode, Jeroen shares some of the mistakes they made early on (so you can avoid them yourself), and talks with us about how to effectively and efficiently build our own SaaS company from scratch.

Top 3 Key Takeaways:

1. What is means to build a minimum viable product and what that looks like in the SaaS world
2. Better understanding of how to get your first feedback and possibly first customers for your SaaS business
3. How to expand your network and potential customers beyond your immediate circle
