什么是SaaS产品策略？

SaaS产品策略概述了您产品的目标、其消费者群体以及它将如何使消费者受益。该策略是您产品开发工作的基础，协调您的团队和资源朝着共同的目标前进。  

如果没有结构良好的策略，开发出的产品更有可能无法满足目标受众的需求，从而导致较低的采用率和错失机会。

一个强大的SaaS产品策略的组成部分包括：

• Clear Vision: The importance of having a defined perspective lies in offering your team clear and motivating goals.
• Target Market: Knowing your target customer’s pain points and preferences is crucial in creating a product they will value and adopt.
• 价值主张： A clear value proposition explains how the product may address customer issues compared to other available options.
• Roadmap: A product roadmap defines how a product will be built, thus helping focus on which features to build next and when to release them.
• 市场进入策略： 此计划定义了如何触达目标客户并获取客户。

确定目标市场需要进行详细的市场分析和客户分析。使用问卷调查、焦点小组，并审查您拥有的信息，以确定目标受众的挑战、需求和偏好。确保通过进行调查并从目标市场获得关于您产品的反馈来支持您的发现。

以下是SaaS企业需要关注的衡量指标

• 客户获取成本（CAC）：获取一个新客户的成本是多少？
• 客户生命周期价值 (CLTV)：客户在与您的产品建立联系期间产生的总收入。
• 客户流失率: 在给定时期内放弃注册的客户百分比。
• 净推荐值 (NPS)：客户忠诚度和满意度衡量标准。
• 每月经常性收入 (MRR)：每月订阅产生的预期收入。

定价策略可能包括几种原型，例如 免费增值, 分层定价模式, or usage pricing models. Use different value proposition angles and quantify the impact of each angle on clients, client growth, and total revenues. 

Keep updating your price setting in response to the outcome of the consumer feedback and your product’s value prop.

Prioritizing the delivery of exceptional customer experiences across the entire customer journey is crucial. 

这包括关注客户的投诉，尽快回复他们，并确保您的产品不时符合他们的要求。 

考虑加入一些功能，以促进客户互动和产品体验分享，从而可能培养社区意识。

让我们来探索一些成功的SaaS产品方案的实际例子：

产品主导增长（PLG） 

• 示例： Calendly、Zoom、Figma
• 策略： It is crucial for a startup to possess a product that people find valuable, and you really do not need to go around campaigning for its usage. It reduces the impact of sales and marketing efforts in the early stages, leading to a focus on establishing a robust product and garnering organic users.

Customer Success-Driven

• 示例： Gainsight, ChurnZero, Totango
• 策略：  对于初创公司而言，留住现有客户总是比在市场上获取新客户更划算。客户成功是企业增长的关键因素，因为它关系到提高用户满意度，并鼓励诸如服务续订、交叉销售和推荐等行为。

免费增值模式，包含 向上销售

• 示例：Slack、Dropbox、Spotify
• 策略: Some startups may use this model to build a broad user base in the early stages by offering a free product version. This may guide lead generation and opportunities to demonstrate the value of the startup’s product while acknowledging that factors beyond the tool’s control influence user conversion to paying customers.
