Thanks for being here : )
I’m Nihal - #TheSaaSGuy 😎
So much in love with SaaS that I end up bringing every conversation to SaaS products. Sometimes also convince you on purchasing few (lol just kidding)😂😂
The best thing I can do for your business is execute GTM strategies 🚀 with no fluffy ideas; keeping it real and straightforward
Throughout my career, I’ve taken initiatives to set marketing operations in the right direction (of course channeling it towards ROI), whether it is taking a leadership role or handling multiple projects/clients at the same time, I don't leave any stone unturned.
The 2 Mantras I follow in my Day to Day life to make things work
Listen More from your customers.
Know More about your product.
According to me, Marketing is a mix of science 🔬 and art 🎨
Therefore you can see an innovative storyteller 🧞 with a data-driven approach in me while brainstorming for marketing plans.
I am best at understanding the user requirements/inputs and giving them a tailor-made solution based on their buyer’s persona or ideal customer profile.
I love to solve problems of real business in a competitive market.
Things I’m Updating on Day to Day Basis
🧘🏻♂️ Product Positioning
🚀 GTM Strategies
💰Demand Gen
📊Product Adoption
Toys I am fond of :
Email Marketing - Sendgrid, Zoho Mail, MailModo, Mailchimp,
WhatsApp Marketing - Gallabox 😅 (Shameless plug)
CRM - Zoho, Hubspot
Marketing Automation - Zoho, Hubspot
In my current role at Gallabox, I've been executing new SaaS product launches, setting up GTM strategies, event marketing, and fostering a community centered around shared values rather than mere sales.
In a small, relaxed setting like a cafe, conversations become incredibly focused and insightful.
Here's why I loved it 👇🏻
✅ Deep Dives: Each founder had the chance to delve into their product and their current challenges. It was a true exchange of ideas and experiences.
✅ Candid Connections: Unlike the usual "pitch perfect" environment, the breakfast table fostered open dialogue. Everyone felt comfortable sharing honestly, without fear of judgment.
This "Breakfast Social" format proved to be a fantastic way to:
Learn from Each Other 🙌🏻 We all gained valuable insights from hearing each other's stories and perspectives.
Build Stronger Connections 🥂 The relaxed setting fostered deeper connections than a typical networking event.
Understand the Ecosystem ✨ It provided a valuable glimpse into the current startup landscape.
Who's interested in joining the next Breakfast Social? 👀
After pouring heart and soul into this, I'm thrilled to share Asnap, my latest venture in the world of #MicroSaaS
Much like Thanos' iconic finger snap transformed the Marvel universe, Asnap is poised to shake up how Saas companies approach support documentation.
Why take on this challenge? 👀
Having personally felt the pains of manual content creation and relying on outdated tools in past roles, I knew there had to be a better way🤔
Existing tools like Scribe & Tango missed the mark, not tailored for SaaS companies.
Spotting this gap in the market, I decided to take the reins 😇
Leveraging my experience launching Clipboard Archive, I set out to create a solution for those, like me, seeking efficiency in crafting product guides🚀
To ensure Asnap met real user needs, I engaged with over 50 Technical Content Writers, Product Managers, and Marketers, digging deep into their pain points.
This wasn't just about building a product; it was about crafting a comprehensive solution 🤩
Excitingly, Asnap is now available in Alpha, ready to be put through its paces by real customers for testing and feedback.
If you've ever grappled with creating guides in a market where existing solutions fall short, Asnap is here to bridge the gap.
Let me show you how Asnap can transform your approach to support documentation. 🚀
