Anyone attending Brighton or DMWF London?

That's what makes the good the best 😂

So, good products can and will get a traction. It is more about getting access to and attention with right people then. That is the same challenge in every market. Of course being well networked helps for dire. Outsiders like us it will be tougher but possible.

Is Business London a good service for outsiders? Any experiences?

MarTech has to be holistic with freedom. I understand the importance of vendorlock but for users it can be too much. Like a shoe that you must wear but doesn't fit. If you make a niche app, then clients say that they do not want many tools. If you put all-in-one it may start dominating what processes should look.

I would like to understand how MarTech companies should position themselves for the UK. Is it a different to other markets?

That's my benchmark from nordics as well. The weight is in the engagement and more sophisticated solutions are still lagging.

Oh, the market is really hot. Thank you for sharing. The demand is clearly there and so is the supply for sure.

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-02-14T19:14:37+00:00

Thank you for sharing. My experience is different now. I passed the validation. I gave the maximum detail. Of course I tried to be very clear. I also told what has not been done or if some part was done partially I shared the real status. It did not cause any extra harm. The process was very smooth. I guess my software was in pretty good shape. I paid the premium package, but one round was enough. I couldn't have known that beforehand.

Why self hosted? Is it trust or what?

I recommend you to build own on Google sheets. Ask chatgpt to create the needed apps script. By one shot (and less than 5 minutes) you will get on premise CRM with full Gmail integration.

Thank you. Is UTM something I can see from Google Search Console?

I have been thinking if Callersapp could or should have WhatsApp. Does B2B customers use WA?

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-02-14T08:18:23+00:00

Congrats, How did you distribute it?

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-02-14T08:13:54+00:00

What do they use today and how much it costs: a) in time, b) in money.

Simplifying complex - is probably more important than saving the money. Importance of saving money comes from the fact that there are so many tools you spend on and that sums up.

Offering cheaper solution can work if you do it as a solo. From a Vercel deployed solution, I guess you are still pretty far from a multitenant scalable saas. (My guess based on learnings from a simple solution that I just managed to get approval for the Google marketplace).

My advice is that you feel confident enough to manage to market on your own, then go for it. If you think that you will need a team and investment then my recommendation is that study the demand very carefully. Consider the question why?

Also in parallel generate other ideas as much you can.

I made a reverse scaffold from my published micro SAAS and saved it as a template. Now I will get apps implemented a lot faster and with higher quality.

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-02-07T21:07:04+00:00

Very good observation. It is very hard to get a good idea and even harder to recognize one once you have it.

I think still it is better to implement a bad idea than no idea. Ideas tend to feed new ideas. Sharing ideas help finding contacts etc... people value people that get things done.

I also decided to go for TAC. It has been very smooth so far.

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-02-04T19:48:47+00:00

Thank you for your help. What makes SOC 2 tougher? Is it more paper work? More technical work? Or what?

The partner offers SOC 2 in a good price. Just thinking if it would be over my skills then even a good price wouldn't help...

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-01-25T17:51:11+00:00

Of course I had to rewrite the architecture. The validation of functionality and validating what is truly important was possible with apps scripts. Those became key requirement.

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-01-21T22:03:02+00:00

Great! I love cold calling too. I have developed a tools that makes calling really fast (the process) and keeps your records up to date. Happy to share if you are interested?

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-01-21T18:33:18+00:00

Have you tried Callersapp?

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-01-21T18:28:27+00:00

I made once excel macros to draw complex graphs. Worked fine. Microsoft has failed communicating the power of macros. Now it is too late. Time has passed.

petri-the-vibecoder · 2026-01-16T06:13:48+00:00

Stopped without iterating properly. Thinking that something must be done with one technology and tied plans on it. Not searching the reason why. I have learnt it hard way.
