Marc Thomas
[03:18] “Most people don't need an SEO or PPC consultant. They need someone to help them work out the economics of their growth model.”
[07:01] “Predictable growth methodology allows us to, say, ‘let's structure this conversation rather than just going hey, let's, let's start anew every time.‘ But SaaS businesses grow because they acquire customers profitably and retain them for a long time.’
[14:32] “Lead magnets for generating effective MQLs, which will later convert into an SQL or a deal. All of this relies on a solid position, messaging, and then tactical work above that.”
[23:09] “It's an old-fashioned, unsexy thing to do to create a lead magnet and then say, ‘Hey, thanks for downloading our lead magnet, here's another thing.’ But look, you know what’s sexy? Revenue.”

[07:42] “It's critical to know exactly what those [SaaS metrics] are. And you know how you can leverage them and use them to get them bench to the right benchmarks and get them accelerated.”
[19:23] “You’ve got to have the perfect fit, right-fit customers to be able to work.”
[23:56] “A lead magnet is a guide or document or something of value you're sharing in exchange for usually an email… But it's something that a lot of SaaS companies kind of miss out on and don't take advantage of. They either don't use that as a strategy, or they don't know how to convert people from it.”
