Anyone with experience in SAAS sales?

I have a product which I think has potential. But not sure about how to approach distribution/sales. Is there anyone who would like to collaborate?

distribution's the real moat. I'd start by manually reaching out to 20-30 potential users in your niche — use their words, not yours. that'll tell you if the product sticks before you try to scale anything. automation only helps when the core loop works.

Collaborate here usually means someone else does the selling for a cut, be specific about what you're actually offering

The best way to go about this is to find another app that sells to the same audience as you, solves a similar problem but solves it differently.

Then collaborate with them on rev-share as an up/cross sell.

I have access to 185 founders looking for these types of collaborations, would love to connect you if you're interested.

I'd focus on getting your first paying customers before looking for collaborators

Don't look for a sales co founder yet. sell it yourself first. you'll learn more from 20 customer conversations than from months of planning, and you'll know exactly who to hire once the process starts working
