Direct answer: how should a small business use SaaS Marketing?
A small business should use SaaS Marketing by choosing one profitable customer situation, assigning the method one job, defining an accepted outcome, setting a cash and capacity boundary, and running the smallest test that can improve a real decision. The business should expand only when accepted trials or demos, activation, retained revenue and payback repeat with acceptable customer quality and delivery capacity.
