Ecosystem: let others make money through you
What do SaaS companies or platforms fear most? Customer churn. But this company’s approach is quite interesting. They did not focus only on how to take money from customers’ pockets. Instead, they thought about how to let customers use their tools to make money.
They invested heavily in supporting agencies and freelancers. These people use the tool to help other companies grow and work with data, and they make good money from it. Think about it: if your income comes from using this tool, would you casually replace it? Of course not. To support their own businesses, these agencies will work hard to promote the company and create tutorials for it.
This is what I would call soil thinking. Planting trees yourself may be fast, but it is better to enrich the soil and let others plant trees. These agencies are not just customers. They become the most loyal salespeople.
