    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?

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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?

    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...

    Quality over quantity, or quantity to find quality?

    When you're testing a new marketing strategy or building links, do you focus strictly on a few high-quality targets, or do you go for volume first to see what sticks? What’s your personal rule of thumb?

    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...

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

    I've noticed a lot of small businesses still manage attendance through WhatsApp messages, phone calls, and spreadsheets. It works... until someone forgets to check in, payroll comes around, or a client asks who was actually on site. I'm curious how everyone here handles field teams. Have you...

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

    Running into this with my own team. Someone's supposedly on-site or working remote, and I have no real way to confirm it beyond their word and a timesheet. Feels like I'm either trusting blindly or being paranoid, no middle ground. Curious how other small business owners handle this. Do you...
