Tim Matthews from Incapsula (https://www.incapsula.com/) chats with Shira Abel from Hunter & Bard (http://hunterandbard.com/) about how he got into SaaS marketing from conventional marketing, the differences between and the special challenges SaaS marketers face when companies scale.

Tim has an ebook called The SaaS Marketing Handbook and it's free - you can find it at:

Tim Matthews was born in New York City and grew up in a nearby leafy suburb before taking the long route to Silicon Valley through Tokyo. He has worked in high tech for twenty years and managed marketing teams at six companies. When not writing or poring over marketing texts, he golfs, crosswords, and tries to keep up with his wife on a standup paddleboard. He has long wondered which is harder: crossing the chasm or a 200 yard carry over a water hazard.
