What’s the best way to identify if a company is a software/product company or services company
Use AI prompts to analyze company data and classify business models. Create prompts that examine: Key indicators to analyze: ** What they sell - products vs. services ** Pricing model - subscription/SaaS vs. project-based ** Revenue streams - product sales vs. professional services ** Company description and target customers Classification approach: Set up AI prompts to categorize companies based on their primary business focus, even if they operate across multiple categories. AI can distinguish between software companies (like SaaS providers) and service-based businesses by analyzing their LinkedIn descriptions and business models. This method provides consistent, standardized classifications from varied company data.
