Growth in SaaS doesn’t fail because of bad ideas —
it fails when one “not-enough” link breaks the chain.
Here’s what I mean 👇
🧩 Building a product is not enough
↳ You need to distribute it to the right audience.
🚀 Distribution is not enough
↳ Your message must resonate and create clear intent.
💬 Resonance is not enough
↳ It must beat alternatives and win priority.
⚡ Priority is not enough
↳ There must be willingness-to-pay and available budget.
💰 WTP & budget is not enough
↳ A champion must build consensus and get approval.
✅ Approval is not enough
↳ Security and procurement must clear.
🛒 Purchase is not enough
↳ Time to first value must be fast.
🔁 First value is not enough
↳ Ongoing value must be obvious to renew and expand.
Most stalled products are trapped at one of these links.
But it always starts from Step 1 & 2.
💡 The better the product and the better the distribution,
the easier every next step gets.
