5 Must-Have Traits For An Intelligent Billing Platform

Subscription-based businesses are enjoying an unprecedented level of success. They have been successful because they can scale easily in response to changes in demand, and retain customers for long periods of time; thus supporting a relatively predictable stream of revenue. As the amount of customer data continues to increase and subscription services become more complex, accurate and reliable billing becomes increasingly difficult. SaaS businesses still largely rely on outdated billing systems that have been repackaged to fit their needs for the short term which limits their growth potential. These billing systems do not provide the flexibility that modern businesses selling subscription services need and leaves a lot to be desired.

Permission to Communicate

Marketing and business development are vital parts of every business and one of the most fun and creative activities at any company if they’re done right. I’ve had the chance to see how marketing, advertising and the digital landscape have affected marketing tactics over the last couple of decades and not to put too fine a point on it: Most of it has become a relentless barrage of unwelcome garbage. I think a lot of marketers nowadays perceive their craft to be something like the natural process of erosion. If I hit my contacts with enough material, eventually they’ll relent.
