    What Makes a B2B SaaS Partner Actually Send Referrals?

    We’re currently testing a partner channel for Trackly, a workforce management SaaS for attendance, payroll workflows, and remote or field teams. The structure is straightforward: if a partner refers a business and that business becomes a paying customer, the partner earns 20% recurring...

    20% Recurring vs One-Time SaaS Referral Commissions?

    Agreed. If affiliates are investing real time and effort, lifetime recurring gives them a stronger reason to stay active. What SaaS price point do you think makes 20% genuinely attractive?

    20% Recurring vs One-Time SaaS Referral Commissions?

    Makes sense. Recurring commission definitely seems more attractive for SaaS since the affiliate benefits from bringing customers who actually stick around. From your experience, besides the commission itself, what usually makes a SaaS program worth actively promoting?

    20% Recurring vs One-Time SaaS Referral Commissions?

    For those running B2B SaaS affiliate or referral programs, which model has produced better partners? We’re considering 20% recurring revenue for the lifetime of the customer for a workforce-management SaaS. My concern is that a good commission may attract signups, but not necessarily active...

    B2B partnerships vs cold outreach: which has worked better for you?

    I've been spending more time looking at B2B partnerships lately, especially with agencies, consultants, IT providers, and other businesses that already have relationships with potential customers. What I find interesting is that the hardest part isn't finding people who are willing to promote...

    What Worked Better Than Broad Outreach for Early B2B Users

    I’ve been testing different ways to acquire early users for a B2B SaaS product. Broad outreach produced replies, but very few people actually tested the product. The conversations improved after we narrowed the audience and focused on businesses already experiencing the problem. A few...

    Building a Recurring Partner Channel for B2B SaaS: Is 20% Enough?

    I’ve been working on Trackly, a workforce management SaaS for remote and field teams. Building the product has been more straightforward than creating a repeatable customer acquisition channel, so we are currently evaluating a partner-led approach. The proposed model is simple: A partner...

    From Cold Outreach to Partnerships: My B2B Experiment

    Over the past few weeks, I've been testing different ways to get B2B customers for a SaaS product. Cold email and LinkedIn outreach have helped me start conversations, but I noticed something interesting. Businesses are much more willing to listen when the introduction comes from someone they...

    One thing I learned while building software...

    Exactly. I've noticed that once you understand the workflow behind the request, many feature requests become unnecessary. Solving the root cause usually creates a better experience than adding another button or setting. It's a good reminder that listening to the problem is often more valuable...

    One thing I learned while building software...

    I used to ask businesses, "What features do you want?" Most gave a long wishlist. But when I asked them, "What's the most frustrating part of your workday?" the answers were completely different. The real problems weren't missing features. They were repetitive manual tasks, scattered...

    The biggest time drain in my business wasn't the work. It was chasing information.

    That's been my experience too. Once information gets scattered across multiple tools and people, even simple tasks start taking much longer than they should.

    The biggest time drain in my business wasn't the work. It was chasing information.

    Exactly. The work itself is often quicker than tracking down the information needed to do it.

    The biggest time drain in my business wasn't the work. It was chasing information.

    I used to think the biggest bottleneck in a growing business would be getting more clients or hiring more people. It turned out to be something much simpler. Every day started with the same questions. Who's working today? Has this job been completed? Why don't these numbers match? None of...

    What's one business task you wish you could completely forget about?

    Exactly. The time spent chasing the same information over and over often ends up costing more than the task itself. It can be, especially when you're doing the same outreach over and over. Finding a repeatable process makes a huge difference.

    What's one business task you wish you could completely forget about?

    Every business has that one task that has to be done, but nobody actually enjoys doing it. For some it's invoicing. For others it's payroll. Some spend hours following up with employees or clients just to verify information that should already be available. I'm curious, what's the one...

    Anyone else still relying on WhatsApp and spreadsheets to manage field staff?

    I agree. That's actually something I've noticed while building Trackly. Most businesses stick with spreadsheets until they become more work than they're worth. The decision to switch usually comes after repeated mistakes, not because they want another tool.

    What's one business process you still do manually because no software gets it right?

    Every business has that one thing. The process everyone knows is inefficient, but replacing it with software creates even more headaches. For me, it's managing field employees. Attendance, leave, payroll, client visits... there always seems to be one missing piece. I'm curious what it is...

    How do you verify remote or field employees are actually working when you can't see them?

    I agree that trust is important, and I don't think constant monitoring creates a healthy workplace. My point is more about having accurate records when clients, payroll, or billing depend on them. For me, it's not about watching every step, it's about avoiding disputes later with clear information.
