Hello!
I did a post 1 year ago when our SaaS launched. Here is the link:

We hit around $17k MRR pretty quickly and stayed there. I had to figure out a way to break through that.
Our May just closed, and we are seeing a steady climb, but it came fron a place we did not expect (and from a place us as tech people need to be dialed in on).
We have a lot of AI in our tech for onboarding and automation, etc. Which is great for self starters, but we realized quickly that people wanted to talk to people - collaborate, brain storm, think of new ideas.
So we put a lot of emphasis on building a business champion program that focused solely on boots on the ground discussions with clients and solving their problems.
In the world of AI, we can automate so much, but people still want human connection with the products they use. Simon Sinek always says people do not buy what you do they buy why you do it. AI tells a story that the why is to replace conversations so when we swapped to real interactions with real people, it changed our land scape.
Just a note - sentiment for AI tools in your products has a self life or a maximum. After that, people are going to go to the companies they can collaborate with.
