Expert Speaks…
Sahil Lavingia - Founder at Gumroad
Ankur: What one organic growth strategy would you recommend to early stage SaaS startups?
Sahil: Define organic growth?
Ankur: Any engineering, marketing or product activity which leads to higher profitability without the need of paid advertising.
Sahil: Cold emails.
Prompted by Sahil’s question I have further refined the definition of Organic growth as -
“Organic growth refers to improvements in KPIs due to any engineering, product, customer relationship or marketing activity without the need for paid advertising.”
Great questions lead to the discovery of meaningful answers 🙏
