TOP QUOTES

Sam Dunning

[01:20] "In my opinion, kind of getting thrown in at the deep end of a startup is one of the best things you can do for hands-on experience."

[12:15] "SEO often gets overcomplicated. For many SaaS websites that want to drive a steady stream of demos or sales calls, it doesn't have to be."

[19:06] "The advantage that a lot of smaller SaaS companies have is that the giants within their niche have so much red tape."


Matt Wolach

[08:19] "It really is kind of a misalignment with marketing and sales and with your SEO people, and also from leadership not giving the right direction of exactly what needs to happen."

[19:39] "Same thing if you're thinking on the development side for the product too, by the way, it takes forever to spit out product when you're big."
