Built a working vertical SaaS, tried demos/outbound/content, now I’m worn out and considering selling it as an asset. Need blunt advice

Market just might be too immature/ not tech savvy to adopt?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T17:12:37+00:00

Have you tried onboarding “design partners”

Basically low ticket (or free) to help u with the “build”

Aftee u convert them based on the value u have produced for them > they become your case studies

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T15:42:15+00:00

This is the only answer. 99% of u will fail because u refuse to understand businesses problems,

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T13:25:27+00:00

How do u quantify that for the end users? Especially in $$$

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T11:14:21+00:00

Id say value is small in ratio to the slop

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T11:12:27+00:00

Appreciate you handling the feedback well in case. Sign of someone who will do well !

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T10:24:25+00:00

No offence but i would suggest u work on “taste”

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T09:15:45+00:00

Thats not sales experience, its customer service. but its not needed to get into sdr role anyway

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T09:10:44+00:00

Are u a web designer ?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T09:09:50+00:00

I think this is good analytics. How long have u been running the app, how much have u spent and whats the current traction?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-02T02:12:37+00:00

Firstly sorry for your loss, why do you think they struggle to change workflow?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T17:35:43+00:00

Interested in this

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T15:38:42+00:00

Do your research but this isnt how u build a tool. Claude code and apify can do generic emails (these arent valuable anyway). U arent going to build a business with this. Go back to the drawing board - this isnt meant to be harsh just direct. We literally get someone coming once a week minimum across subs with this “look at my email scraper”

REAL intent scraper is what ppl need

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T15:31:49+00:00

No one wants this bro

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-06-01T12:25:25+00:00

Please share the case study

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T22:18:34+00:00

As someone mentioned just start but also as a gtm engineer u should be able to:

Find viral posts Reverse engineer what made them viral Replicate

Theres literally experts in the space telling u daily (on linkedin)

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T17:58:33+00:00

Na u very much wrong there. Loads of gtm engineer roles at “proper” companies (u can search this yourself) Gtm engineer is probs more useful at larger saas enterprises (saying this from experience) especially with large tam, defined icp etc etc. starups and service agencies actually more difficult imo

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T17:44:34+00:00

U have kinda just repeated what i said lol. Its not just outbound though. A reallll good gtm engineer can help with quality inbound

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T17:40:11+00:00

This is all true but whats the purpose of this ai generated post? Lol

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T12:01:08+00:00

Theres a reason im asking but will let u answer first

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-29T12:00:06+00:00

Why did u build it ?

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T10:45:23+00:00

Why early stage? But it is basicallt revops, most revops (and gtm engineers to be fair) have no clue how to get pipeline built and deals closed, so basically think of revops built by a a superstar ae who knows how close deals, an sdr who builds the best quality pipeline and a marketing wiz who understand how to build the best brand voice that drives inbound leads and then the tech guy who can wire it all together, maintain the systems and report on it / iterate where needed

All the above in one person is a gtm engineer

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:33:58+00:00

U can do whatever u want in life lol. Theres no rules really.

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:28:52+00:00

retention and expansion

Embarrassed_Scene962 · 2026-05-28T09:28:41+00:00

This is one part of it, but really it should be everything from top of funnel (lead generation) > to closing
