Defining Product-Led Growth
Product-led growth (PLG) is described as a multifaceted approach that leverages the product itself to attract and engage customers while generating revenue. It emphasizes that the product should not only acquire new clients but also facilitate their journey towards understanding its value, foster engagement, and ultimately drive monetization. Unlike traditional models that prioritize sales interactions first, PLG inverts this process by highlighting user engagement prior to purchase, ensuring that potential customers experience real value upfront. By using examples beyond software, such as the concept of sampling cologne before buying, the broader application of PLG becomes clearer, illustrating its relevance in various industries.
