Bob Armbrister is the President and CEO of SPARK Business Works. Bob has led SPARK to serve hundreds of clients using a business-first approach to custom software. He leans on his experience as CIO at a national construction management firm to implement "The SPARK Way" – an approach of practical innovation that helps business leaders build tech that gets adopted (and brings ROI).

Takeaways 

  • You don't have to make sure that your idea is going to be the winner, if you're the one, servicing the entrepreneur and so.
  • The biggest thing in a SaaS business is churn. You're constantly trying to figure out churn, why are people leaving? What aren't you doing? What features do you need, you're trying to guess.
  • Not everybody has the same exit plan or the same strategy in terms of what growth looks like. - Jessie
  • The pressure on software-based markets is also the same as the service-based markets.
  • Entrepreneurs get it right one in a million.
  • The more experience you have, the more value you can add to the customer.
  • The more failures we have made in the past, make us able to not repeat them with future customers.
  • The Discovery of a problem is absolutely important. But at the same time, the person who is making that discovery also plays a huge role. - Varun
