Product-Led Growth (PLG)
Let Your Product Sell Itself
Your sales team spends hours explaining features and benefits to prospects who still need multiple demos before making decisions. Meanwhile, companies like Slack, Zoom, and Dropbox grew to billions in revenue by letting customers experience their products first, then buy.
The PLG Advantage: Product-led companies grow 2.5x faster and have 40% higher valuations than sales-led companies. They also have 50% lower customer acquisition costs because satisfied users become advocates who drive organic growth.
Why Traditional Sales Models Are Becoming Obsolete
Modern buyers want to try before they buy. 67% of B2B buyers prefer self-service research over talking to sales representatives. Your prospects are researching solutions online, reading reviews, and making purchase decisions before ever speaking to your team.
PLG meets buyers where they are by providing immediate value through product trials, freemium models, or low-friction onboarding that demonstrates your solution’s benefits.
