Posting your startup in r/SaaSSales
Yes. r/SaaSSales is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Posts that share authentic personal experience (founder journeys, sales failures/lessons), ask genuine questions about real sales/business problems, or facilitate peer discussion without any pitch angle. AMA-style expertise sharing and vulnerability (admitting mistakes or frustrations) resonate well.
Self-promotion rules
Do not sell, promote, or pitch your product or service—this includes offering solutions to recommendation requests, free trials, or promo codes. Immediate permanent ban for violations. The only exception is if you're directly asked by a user; future pinned threads may allow product submissions. Keep all content focused on genuine SaaS sales knowledge, advice, and discussion. (Note: this sub is strict about self-promotion, lead with pure value.)

spent 5 years closing enterprise deals, then switched to early-stage startup sales. the playbook changed completely—here's what surprised me most
I just realized my entire approach to qualifying prospects became obsolete when I moved from a mature SaaS company to a 10-person startup. The gatekeeping dynamics are completely different, and I'm wondering if anyone else here has experienced a similar jarring shift.
