Here are the slides from the class I did last week for SoftwareCEO titled "Think You're Ready for SaaS? Think Again!" While the slides cover the 9 Misconceptions of SaaS that should be avoided, ultimately, this was a part of a 1.5 hour presentation and the slides were used simply to "support my narrative" as one reviewer said. This is true, I'm a minimalist when it come to slides that accompany a presentation. The slides help tell the story; they aren't the story themselves.
By the way, I will be doing a series of posts on this blog about those 9 Misconceptions of SaaS so stay tuned.
The version I embedded below is without SoftwareCEO branding and contains a few quick fixes and updates to make it readable without the accompanying narrative. However, if you would like to download the actual co-branded slides presented on the webinar in PPTX format (as a .zip file), you can do so here.
My sincere thanks to SoftwareCEO for allowing me to spend some time educating a great group of software company leaders on the potential pitfalls of SaaS and the common misconceptions to avoid. As I said at the beginning of the class, few can agree on exactly what SaaS is (even though Sixteen Ventures has clearly defined it), so the best way to move forward is identify what SaaS is not!
