A SaaS price increase is one of the highest-leverage commercial decisions a product team can make, and one of the most commonly botched. Done well, it improves revenue per customer, signals product maturity, and strengthens positioning. Done poorly, it triggers churn, damages trust, and hands competitors a ready-made talking point. The mechanics are straightforward. The…
A fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with a business on a part-time or project basis, providing strategic leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. For businesses that need experienced commercial thinking but cannot justify a six-figure salary, it is one of the more practical arrangements the modern marketing…
Category entry points are the specific situations, needs, and mental cues that prompt a buyer to think about a product category. They are the moments when a purchase becomes possible, and the brands that occupy those moments in memory are the ones that get considered first. The concept comes from the work of Byron Sharp…
