Hello everyone, As we all know, video is becoming an indispensable tool in the world of SaaS. From product demos to customer testimonials and training videos, the possibilities are endless. But with so many ways to use video, I’m curious to hear how different SaaS companies are incorporating video into their strategies. A few discussion points to get us started: 1. Video as a Sales Tool: How are you using video to drive conversions and educate potential customers about your SaaS solution? Do you use animated explainer videos or real-life demos? 2. Customer Success & Video: How can SaaS businesses create video content that directly supports customer success? What types of video content have you found most effective in helping customers get the most out of your platform? 3. Scaling Video Content: As SaaS companies grow, scaling video production becomes a challenge. How do you manage producing high-quality video content on a regular basis? Any tips or tools you recommend? 4. User-Generated Video Content: How important do you think user-generated video content (testimonials, tutorials, etc.) is for building trust and engagement in the SaaS space? 5. Interactive Video Features: With the rise of interactive video tools, do you think these features are the future of SaaS video production? Have any of you tried interactive video for lead generation or onboarding? Looking forward to hearing your experiences, and any advice or lessons learned from integrating video into your SaaS marketing and product strategies!

Applications are invited for several PhD and Postdoc positions funded by the ERC Consolidator Grant project Computational Complexity of Highly Nonlinear Approximations at RWTH Aachen. The positions will be available starting July 1st, 2025, but later starting dates are possible. The aim of the project is to investigate numerical methods for high-dimensional partial different equations based on nonlinear approximations such as low-rank tensor decompositions, anisotropic Gaussians and neural networks, with focus on the computational costs of reliable solvers. For certain parts of the project, expertise in mathematical aspects of quantum chemistry is particularly welcome. For further details and how to apply, see https://www.igpm.rwth-aachen.de/stellen
