The Full Analyst Relations Playbook for SaaS Startups with Rachel Dines - Ep 66

Episode notes

Rachel Dines is a B2B Marketing expert and advisor to multiple SaaS platforms, where she provides her specialty in deep tech companies with sales-led go-to-market motions. Rachel also writes a SubStack newsletter called Tech Dropout. Previously, Rachel was VP of Product and Technical Marketing at Chronosphere and a Forrester industry analyst turned product marketing leader. Rachel joins co-hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson for a raucous romp through the world of building analyst relationships as a new SaaS vendor, the problem with startups having too many use cases, and why your B2B startup’s first marketing hire should really be a product marketer. Plus, Rachel reveals what happened when she gave a friend some less-than-amazing career advice. Also, Craig reveals his fondness for a certain slightly disparaging epithet, Matt releases his pent-up rage, and Producer Sam vows to make certain edits to the episode. Critical Takeaways Building relationships with industry analysts at research firms, such as Gartner or Forrester, is only getting more important for B2B startups and scale ups.
