I've started my first business and am doing ok but have only talked to 5 people and only 2 that wanted to work with me in 1 month of cold emailing via woodpecker. (I email about 500 leads a month)
My cold email campaign is ok I suppose given how little it costs me and the value of one new contract is pretty significant. I talked to a few marketing businesses but pretty much no one wants to work with you if you're spending less than $2,000 a month. I ended my Google and Meta Ads (about $30 a day) because they aren't driving traffic that I need. B2B SAAS.
Any interesting solutions? Should I hire someone to improve my SEO? Is Cold calling better than cold emailing? How can I get past the help desk for a business and talk to higher up management and or owners?
My site is https://voodootickets.com/ if you want to roast me. I sell ticket software to venues and event spaces.
Congrats on your new business, VoodooMagic! Marketing and generating leads can be challenging, but here are some tips based on my experience as a SaaS founder:
SEO is important, but it takes time. Hire someone with proven results or optimize your site yourself for better ranking.
Craft a compelling pitch to show how your product solves pain points. Be persistent with cold calling and follow-up.
Research decision-makers and use tools like LinkedIn to find their contact info.
Utilize content marketing (blogs, videos, webinars) to educate and engage potential customers.
Partner with influencers or businesses to reach your target audience.
I hope these tips help you to grow your SaaS business. I’m also curious about how you handle user authentication and authorization across your web app. Do you use any tools or solutions for that?
I’m working on SSOJet a SaaS for user authentication and authorization across multiple apps and platforms. It simplifies login, reduces security risks, provides analytics, and integrates with popular apps.

When it comes to affordable Software as a Service (SaaS) marketing tools, there are several options available that can help you promote your business without breaking the bank. Here are some affordable SAAS marketing tools you can consider:
Mailchimp: Mailchimp is a popular email marketing platform that offers a free plan for businesses with a limited number of subscribers. It provides basic email marketing features and allows you to design and send email campaigns.
Hootsuite: Hootsuite is a social media management tool that enables you to schedule and publish posts across multiple social media platforms. It offers a free plan with limited features and allows you to manage up to three social media profiles.
Buffer: Buffer is another social media management tool that lets you schedule and publish posts on various social media platforms. It offers a free plan for managing up to three social media accounts and provides basic scheduling features.
You could try a B2B data provider like Apollo, Cognism or Lusha to get some phone numbers and start cold calling. I've worked in sales and email marketing. Cold calling is usually more effective. The best is both. Email than follow up with a call. I don't think they're more than 100-200/month. You could also try the ZoomInfo community edition. I think that may be free.
If your cold email drove 2 interested people from just 500 emails why not double down? Try LinkedIn ads for b2b SaaS. Advertise on newsletters and build in public with tweets and LinkedIn posts.
I'd suggest going for quality over quantity. Personalize your emails more. Maybe reach out to venues in your local area, might be easier to get a foot in the door there.
Have you thought to reach to businesses and give them free/trial full access to try for 1 or 2 events?
Will that cost you a lot than promoting with ads?
Great landing page by the way.
Good luck!
This is something I'd like to know as well, it'd be great if you could do a little bit of advertising or something small. I've thought of reaching out to some well-known bloggers that would have the right kind of audience, and paying for a sponsored/ad week with them. It'd be a bit costly, but it feels like you could get good results from that.
Another option, since you're B2B, might be to go out and buy a couple respected sales books, and start reaching out to businesses directly (even with cold calls). It will be hard but it's sales experience, which is really what you need for these kinds of deals.
