I believe the SaaS layoffs are in full effect and will continue throughout the year. Everyone is in recession protection mode. It's not only SaaS, but it's most companies with a sales team. Salespeople have the highest cost, and companies think you can always stretch them thinner.
I agree that sales should be a profit center, but it depends on the sales organization, the team's experience, and if the service is recession-proof.
If the service/offering can be frozen or stopped then companies/people utilizing it may do so to help hunker down for a recession.
The benefit of SaaS is typically the subscription-type service, which makes your topline more predictable. Tech is being hit hard, but I believe other sectors that sell one-off products /goods will terminate employees even faster with a less predictable topline.
It’s gonna be a rough year…
