Am I the only one starting to get tired of these &#x27;sell the shovels&#x27; sales pitches directed at SAAS startups? I respect Patrick and what he&#x27;s done, but to me he is coming off more and more sleazy and this particular post doesn&#x27;t help the case.<p>Can we be successful without doing the hard sales thing? Is it getting worse or am I just getting more sensitive to it? That&#x27;s an honest question, shlock like this just makes my skin crawl these days, but maybe I&#x27;m in the minority.

If this article is designed to promote the Business of Software I think it&#x27;s failed entirely in my case. Working every day of the year aside from 3 days at a conference is not something I have any desire to emulate, nor do I want to hang out with people who think that&#x27;s a good idea.<p>Work should be fun, interesting, challenging, and something that you can put away occasionally to do other things. If you can&#x27;t, you&#x27;re doing it wrong.

This... has the voice of a paid shill trying to work in references to the Next Amazing Offer. It didn&#x27;t read to me like patio11&#x27;s essay or HN comment tone at all.<p>[ed] Is this more effective at attracting the kind of people who pay to attend the BoS conference than his usual voice?

Whoa! - $2500 for a three day conference. The &quot;Business of Software&quot; conference is a pretty good business.<p>I know, I know - They rented a hotel ballroom and give you lunch and snacks. It&#x27;s too bad the self-organizing bar-camp thing kind of died when the great recession ended. I thought it might kill expensive conferences like Craigslist killed newspaper classifieds.

It&#x27;s a shame BoS have started selling the videos of talks when most conferences are going in the other direction and releasing videos for free.<p>Given that many speakers are doing so to contribute back to the community and build their own reputations it would be nice if conferences like BoS would be run by the community for the sake of the community rather than by commercial entities.<p>I&#x27;d be curious to know what percentage of the video sales price goes to the speakers as royalties.

<a href="http://businessofsoftware.org/2013/02/gail-goodman-constant-contact-how-to-negotiate-the-long-slow-saas-ramp-of-death/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;businessofsoftware.org&#x2F;2013&#x2F;02&#x2F;gail-goodman-constant-...</a><p>I think this is one of the best talks I ever watched. It&#x27;s about startup life, without glamour, false-hope or delusional expectations. The fact that it&#x27;s not a twenty-something year old guy, who sold it&#x27;s business for millions of dollars in only 2 months, makes an excellent talk to anyone who has a SaaS software, consultancy business or is looking in join the startup bandwagon.

TL;DR He goes to the Business of Software Conference.

Why is everybody saying that this post seems sleazy? Am I the only one that&#x27;s not seeing it like that? He is only trying to encourage people to attend the BoS conference by telling us about the benefits. How else would you do it?

Ha! I read the first few paragraphs and then scrolled down until I got to the P.S.<p>Brilliant!

I think the problem with this kind of approach to marketing is that you have to be a marketing geek to enjoy it. I wish there was a minimal approach for people who find marketing bothersome.<p>Also, this is more controversial, but I think patio11 should make his points faster. His posts tend to be overly long for what they bring to the table.

If a company is big enough and should have documented their network for liability insurance, either A. I know places who didn&#x27;t have it, or B. I know places that hid it, or C. it isn&#x27;t always required. Weird.

The analogy at the top of this needs a little work. Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) wasn&#x27;t in the Social Network (Jesse Eisenberg)<p>Both great movies though :)
