Day 16 of my 30-day Business & Entrepreneurship series Two companies can sell similar products โ€” but grow in completely different ways. The secret lies in their Growth Model: Product-Led Growth (PLG) vs. Sales-Led Growth (SLG). Product-Led Growth (PLG): โ€“ The product does the selling. โ€“ Free trials, freemium models, intuitive onboarding. โ€“ Efficient, scalable, and data-driven. โ€“ Example: Zoom, Canva. Sales-Led Growth (SLG): โ€“ Growth powered by sales teams. โ€“ Demos, tailored pitches, deep relationships. โ€“ Great for complex or high-ticket products. โ€“ Example: SAP, Oracle. Customer Journeys: โ€“ Self-Serve (PLG): Easy sign-up, immediate value. โ€“ High-Touch (SLG): Personalized calls, longer cycles. Key Metrics to Watch: โ€“ Activation rate (are users seeing value fast?). โ€“ Retention (are they sticking around?). โ€“ Conversion (free โ†’ paid). โ€“ Expansion revenue (upgrades, add-ons). ๐Ÿ‘‰ The big takeaway: Neither PLG nor SLG is โ€œbetter.โ€ The right model depends on your product, your customer, and your price point. Read here - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/day-16-slg-plg-model-aditya-kumar-jha-zaluc See you on Day 17 โ€” where weโ€™ll explore the metrics that truly matter for sustainable growth. #Entrepreneurship #Startups #PLG #SLG #GrowthStrategy #30DayChallenge
