How to ruin a SaaS company

> Sell "one size fits all" usage scaled billing

> Don't hire a sales team

> Large companies won't do business with you since they cant negotiate or engage with a sales team to make sure the product fits for them

> A thousand small users sign up and pay 1$ per month before credit card and merchant fees, misuse the product and want a refund, and throw tens of thousands of support requests at you

You now have a less than worthless sales model.
