I know that this survey was published 7 months ago –but WOW! Great informative post. I’m currently in the process of developing a standalone product and growing my company towards a SaaS. Thanks for the inspiration. Are you guys planning on doing a followup on this?

In reply to Colin Nederkoorn. You meant Trial -> "Customer" ~ 3%, didn't you?

Hey Alex – I’m not sure I’m reading this right. The 2.2% conversion rate. Is that for companies that don’t offer a free trial? If that’s the case it looks like having no free trial converts better for sales than free trial to sale.

Hi Alex, cheers for sharing – was great to see that our targets for visitor to free trial and free trial to signup look realistic! In the post asking for people to take the survey, you mentioned looking at what bounce rate people were seeing. Any insights on this?

Great survey. I took part and its brilliant to get an idea about how other companies are doing. A few of the statistics were surprising but all great, thanks again!

Interested to see what “other” entails in the customer acquisition strategy. Customer / User referrals is something my saas company is currently building a product for so it’s interesting to see it fall in at #2. After a lot of research and talking to other founders it is something I’ve also heard as being the most beneficial. Yet it seems to also be the most under optimized.

I’ll stay posted for the next update!

Only 20.8% B2C companies who have reached product/market fit? Thats very interesting!

Is it because the few B2C companies in the survey or because the potential to reach product/market fit in B2C companies is very low?

@alex_turnbull:disqus Under the “Aquisition Strategies That Brought The Biggest Benefits In 2013”, I see “Other” is 44%, is that code for Cold Calling?
