Why SaaS Companies Hire a Go-to-Market Specialist
SaaS go-to-market is arguably the most complex GTM discipline because it requires aligning product-led and sales-led motions, managing free-to-paid conversion, and building pricing and packaging strategies that maximize both adoption and expansion revenue. GTM specialists with SaaS experience understand the nuances of self-serve versus enterprise sales cycles, the metrics that drive SaaS valuation (ARR, NDR, CAC payback), and the strategic decisions — like whether to lead with freemium or a demo-request model — that shape a product's growth trajectory for years.
