Embrace the shift

Go-to-market teams are facing a dramatic change.
After decades of focusing on disconnected acquisition, retention and monetization ops... 

In the past...

 Marketing was responsible for finding interested buyers and qualifying leads (MQLs) that were then passed to sales. Once reviewed by the sales team, sales qualified leads (SQLs)  then run through a top-down sales motion with an enterprise buyer.

Now...

Product-led growth has changed the game rules. B2B buyers prefer to avoid being dragged into a sales funnel - they choose to evaluate and purchase the software via self-service. Funnel-based distinction between marketing, sales and product becomes blurred.

Hand emoji towards right
The outcome...

In 2022, only only 13% of MQLs convert into SQLs. Out of that small pool of SQLs, sales departments generally only close 6%. Marketers are busy focusing on traffic and leads. Sales care about SQLs and bookings. Product managers on feature adoption. Growth becomes a no-man’s land.

The best-run SaaS companies know.
It’s time to adapt to win ...

Acquire

From top of funnel to the full customer lifecyle

Funnels use acquisition at their core, are inherently leaky and grow linearly at best. Acquiring customer is just the first step on the lifecycle  relationship

The key levers     of the growth flywheel      

The flywheel has compounding effect if you reach the  elite level of these KPIs

Look for elite PQL conversion rates

PQL conversion rate is the lifeblood for PLG SaaS companies seeking acquire new customers.

Median conversion rate for SaaS business closing PQLs is 25%, so 1 out of 4 leads convert to a paying customer.

Elite conversion rate is above 50%, which means that top SaaS companies convert every 2nd lead into a paying customer.

Look for elite NDR rates

Net dollar retention  shows how much built-in growth momentum a company has. The greater net dollar retention your company has, the more efficient your growth will be.

Elite NDR for SaaS is 109% - reaching this threshold will mean that you are effectively monetizing  existing customer relationships and have a growing customer base.

Look for elite expansion rates

Retaining the customer is not enough - upselling them with upgrades and add-ons is key to sustain profitable growth.

Elite SaaS companies have 39% of expansion revenue gained over their ARR.

How many growth opportunities you are missing?

In SaaS sales, spending time in the right place has always been a challenge. PLG only makes that harder—there are so many more customers whose statuses change every minute.

Understanding when, why, and how to engage a customer is often the difference between winning or losing a deal, retaining or churning a customer.

Failing to intervene at a critical moment leaves revenue on the table. That’s why you need your growth team to orchestrate both high and low touch experiences at scale. This means combining sales-led and product-led motions.

However, achieving that is not easy.

What’s slowing down your go-to-market team?

After speaking to sales leaders, and operations experts, we identified primary obstacles to a successful Product-Led Sales motion

01

Lack of visibility

GTM teams lack holistic visibility into the behavior of customer signups, trial users, and sales opportunities.

Account Active layers

02

No way to prioritize

Revenue leaders waste countless hours figuring out which accounts and users their reps should engage with.

03

Inaction

Reps don’t know what action will lead to the best outcomes, which results in the wrong action (or no action at all).

Why ad-centered tactics no longer work

Acquiring the user is just the first step in optimizing North start metrics like CAC, LTV, and NPS scores.

With rising ads cost, you can no longer buy out your success with regular ad campaigns. And customers have more choices than ever -  over 75% of U.S. consumers have changed their shopping behavior and switched to new brands in 2022.

Old tactics no longer work as one-time buyers are no longer profitable - turning the 1:3 CAC: LTV ratio upside down.

  • Omni-channel campaigns delivered via mobile and web devices
  • Tier-based offers and promotions
  • Personalized shopping  experience
  • Tailored messaging and recommendations

To achieve this, you would need  a complex marketing stack would only create more data silos and operational overhead.
