How to increase business bookings as a SaaS business in 2023

When you are scaling a fast-growing SaaS business, your first and foremost focus is increasing your revenue. Duh! And that means landing more business bookings for your Saas Business with key decision-makers.

Booking more business meetings is helping you reach more clients, reconnect with existing ones, and of course, drive growth.

Of course, there's no silver bullet for booking more meetings, but there are some tricks you can look into. There are also obvious mistakes that many Saas businesses make that can be avoided with a little work. Here are some tips and tricks to fill your schedule with meetings in no time.

1. Make the process of booking meetings easier

Let’s start with your website. Many organizations focus on creating good call logs. They spend a lot of money on inbound marketing strategies to generate leads. All whilst making it very difficult to schedule meetings with potential customers who want to visit your website and make a connection.

So, how can you use the website & fix that? Well, make sure you have a ‘book a meeting’ button displayed clearly on every single page of the website. And pair the button with a very compelling call-to-action copy.

2. Target the right audience

To ensure you have the best chances of securing prospects, make sure you're targeting the right audience. Think about it, the wider the pool of people you’re targeting, the less likely to have a lot of potential prospects for the business. Not to mention, that targeting the right audience is also less time-consuming. You’ll have to worry about reaching the prospects that are relevant to your SaaS business. Start researching your audience, start segmenting them & start connecting.

If you’re on LinkedIn Sales Navigator to connect & reach your audience, it’s best to segment your audience on industries that are relevant to your service or product. Apart from that, Sales Navigator provides you with various filtering options, making your search much more precise.

You can save your search results in different lists, which makes it much easier for you to track your audience. This is especially important for marketing campaigns that include several buyer personas.

3. Introduce yourself & your business in a compelling & engaging way

Research your audience, their potential problems, and how your services or digital products can help. Make your first approach as specific to them as possible. You have to be concise & speak their language. Make them understand that the problems they face or might face, your product or service can help solve. But, most importantly, keep in mind that you’re pivoting the conversation to get the prospect to meet with you. Keep your energy for the actual call when you start selling the service/product.

But, that doesn’t mean you don’t have to talk about the benefits of the product or services. Your main focus is to have them book a call/meeting/demo.

4. Be persistent in follow-ups

When you’re targeting key decision-makers in different industries, chances are they’ll not be as responsive as you’d like. So, it’s important to follow up, but without being pushy. If you’re not following them up, how will you drive them to do what you want?

But, what’s more important is creating a relationship with the people you're reaching out to. You give them free valuable content. This shows them that you're a trustworthy and reliable source of information. Understand their problems & offer solutions. Connect with them on social media, and actively engage with them.

Business bookings can feel like an irrational numbers game where you throw everything and see what sticks. It's important to avoid that, adding reflections to all that noise. This means tracking and analyzing everything you’re doing. Keep numbers on the prospects you’ve come in contact with, how many responded, to what message they responded, and what generated the most answers.

By tracking everything, you’ll soon learn to spot patterns. Maybe certain target groups respond best to text messages. Sounds like a hassle? Well, here’s where we come through :)
