Sales for an Australian based SaaS company
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I own and run a SaaS co.that focuses on selling to local business customers in Australia. Normal every day businesses - plumbers electricians, roofers, chiropractors, dentists, financial planners, day spas, restaurants, and a whole lot more. Any business that has a Google profile listing and a bit of local competition.
You can check out the software here: https://reputab.ly/ which includes a demo page.
Its a software focused on helping local businesses grow and compete through the power or online reviews. and automating the collecting of these positive reviews while internalising any negative feedback.
Its a relatively simple sale because most local businesses now realise they need consistent and good online reviews, particularly on google.
And you're not having to sell the software and get people to buy - you're just encouraging them to take up the no risk 21 day free trial, which DOESN'T require them to add payment details.
I'm seeking expressions of interest from people who would be keen to encourage local businesses to sign up to the free trial.
Despite having added an hourly rate here to keep the freelancer.com job posting system happy, my preference is to talk with people who are open to some form of performance based remuneration.
And thats not for me to try and pay you less. Its for me to try and pay you more!
An hourly rate is great, but true salespeople will WANT to potentially earn a percentage of each sale (potentially even a percentage of the ongoing monthly fee that a local business pays to use the software), for those businesses that ultimately take up a paid plan. Eg 20% of the $147AUD they pay each and every month.
Or it could be a lesser amount for trial signups.(It has to be a lesser amount as not everyone who takes up a trial will move to be a paying customer after 21 days). You may get 10 times more trial signups than ultimate paying customers, meaning you may opt for something like $3-4AUD per trial signup.
The reason its a great sale to make is:
- Its a simple concept - businesses know that potential customers check out their reviews to validate them or compare them to their local competition. And reviews are fresh, unique, user-generated content in Google's eyes, pushing the business up in local search results.
- Once someone has signed up to a free trial, I will contact them and help them get set up properly, or offer one on one training for them if they need more than what is offered in the online training provided to them after they start a trial. You don't have to do this part. You just get them to sign up to a trial. Thats it!
There are some challenges though that you will need to be aware of. Local businesses like feeling like they are dealing with local people. If you're not in Aust its going to be impossible to teleport yourself here, and i certainly don't expect that. But you've got to keep things in mind like:
- What your phone number looks like when it comes through to someone (if they see an international call coming in they may not be as keen to pick up).
- Can you speak fluent English?
- If straight-up phone sales aren't your thing, maybe a short loom video could be a better way to show a bus. how they look compared to their competition. But then you may need to consider the best way to get to a decision maker rather than using a business's generic email address. Because this is a universal software, I won't be proving you with direct names and contact details, so you'll need to consider the best way to get in front of the right people eg their Facebook Messenger.
Sorry for the long post here but wanted to give you enough to determine if you think this could work for you.
Ultimately I'd like to meet you on a Zoom call but first I'd like a written response to hear a bit more about how you would approach this and how you might tackle some of the challenges of not being in Aust.
Thank you.
