GlassDoor for SaaS Pricing
I'm thinking of building the GlassDoor for saas pricing. It would be a quick way to figure out if you're getting a good deal on software.
In order to make it attractive for the initial users I'll need to seed the site with discounting data for select tools. I'm thinking I could ask sales reps for anonymized data and offer them a gift card. It's probably easier to go to one sales rep for 50 deals they've worked on rather than 50 procurement people for the same purchasing data.
Does anyone have any advice on how I could go about getting the initial batch of discounting data?
Interesting idea. Do these types of contracts usually have non-disclosure clauses? Seems like that would be hard to get around. In the case of Glassdoor, companies cannot forbid you from disclosing salary data (in the US at least). But for procurement and contracts, they absolutely can forbid you.
Very good point on it being a "contract". I feel like employment is also a contract though. Either way, it is between two private parties so I guess I'll have to dig into this.
I'm not planning on going through the company itself though, I'd be going through someone who participated in the contract. So I'd just be a conduit for posting the info. I wouldn't be breaking the terms myself I don't think?
