What does it take to run A Profitable Saas based Agency?

I.T based startups may be a dream to someone and a lot of people may already be running a successful I.T Agency that specializes in SAAS based Products. Young entrepreneurs are highly creative regarding their Concepts. However, they need massive testing and refinements before you actually start investing.

Every business has it’s pain-point. I myself started a profitable digital marketing agency. I too faced a lot of challenges during the start-up. I always thought Capital Investment and efficient team-mates were all it requires.

Believe me, there’s more than this. Here are some of the major challenges I faced.

1. Making Clients think beyond the start-up mentality and making them realize
   what we Could deliver.
2. Clients always ask, what we lacked. It was a challenge to find new Experts on
   Project-based Payment.
3. Be a Specialist or cater to all the industry technology needs. Hiring Experts
   on each technology is a hectic call to make.
4. Making People Stay. Either it is the first client you acquired or the first
   employee you nurtured, it is always hard to make people stay.
5. Making the Final Call to work on any Project. It’s always hard to decide which
   idea you should work on. There’s always a fear that if any tech giants acquire
   your idea and launched the product faster and better.

Connecting all the dots, I finally realized that basically working on an Agency-based modality is creating all the problems. Agency may sound like a Profitable term but Operating Cost, Human Resource always prevents you from making the great leap, you always planned to make.
