## Why it matters
It's the difference between selling hours and selling subscriptions. SaaS Mode turns your setup work into recurring revenue that doesn't need your time for every new client.

## How to take advantage of SaaS Mode
1. Start with one niche plan built from a proven snapshot, priced well above your cost.
2. Add Founder features like Loyalty & Rewards or Industries to make your plan different from generic CRMs.
3. Combine with rebilling with markup so usage becomes profit, not cost.
