Product Strategy
Overarching practices and frameworks Product Management should employ when delivering a Product-Led GTM strategy.
Product-Led Growth is the go-to-market strategy that relies on using the product as the main vehicle to acquire, activate, and retain customers. In this (summarized and simplified) deck, I will explore:
- Why the fastest growing startups use a product-led GTM strategy
- The role of Sales and Marketing under this GTM
- Main marketing and product KPI's
- B2B martech stack
- Pricing SaaS

Product Led Growth (PLG) is a go-to-market strategy that relies on product usage as the primary driver of acquisition, conversion and expansion. Learn why we're now in the end user era and how your org can adapt.
Over the past few decades, buyer power shifted from the executive to the end user. OV's Kyle Poyar explains how this shift occurred and how product led growth is how you adapt.
What Happened After SaaS Companies Introduced Free Offerings Last YearOpenView
2020 was the year of free. And 2021 is the year of reaping the rewards. Let's dig into what happened when SaaS companies started to give away their products.
When done right, product-led growth puts your strategy at the epicenter of not only the roadmap, but the entire company’s growth. Truly embracing product-led growth requires organizations to shift how they approach their processes, but will help you better understand how to identify value, communicate it effectively, and dominate the market.
Join our upcoming webinar, where our expert panel will discuss how leading companies leverage a product-led go-to-market strategy. You’ll see actionable strategies to build a strong product-led foundation that drives cross-functional change.
How Organizations Can Focus Sales for Maximum ImpactOpenView
The best PLG businesses have a dirty secret: They all have sales teams. In fact, they’re doubling down on these teams.
But that doesn’t mean their unit economics are going to get any less attractive, or that they’ll build their sales team at the same pace that their lead volume increases.
How are the best companies doing this? Focus. We used to want to build a big funnel to give our sales team plenty of leads—but many of the experts Sam Richard spoke with from InVision, Wistia, Hubspot and more told me that they’re “splitting the funnel,” or narrowing it, to keep their teams laser-focused on the leads that make sense for their business.
Sam just finished a project with an OpenView portfolio company that wanted help identifying ways to keep their sales team focused on the best accounts coming through their free tool. During the course of the work, Sam consulted with experts and pretended to be a lead in order to shape some findings that she would now like to share with the community.
We invite you to check out Sam's findings, best practices and suggestions to rethink how you’re applying sales resources at your own organization. We hope this helps provide some guidance, and we’d love to know how your organization does this or what companies you admire who do this well. Reach out on Twitter or LinkedIn.

Making the Jump to a Digital-First Business Strategy: A Marketer’s Guide to P...Acquia
The global COVID-19 pandemic has permanently changed the way brands engage with their customers. Consumers are no longer shopping in stores, traveling long distances, visiting restaurants, or leaving their homes much at all. Instead, they have increased their reliance on ecommerce, home delivery, subscription services, and brands they trust.
In response, many companies are shifting their focus (and budgets) from acquiring new customers to retaining and cultivating loyalty in existing customers. To compete in this new reality, marketers must escalate their plans to become “digital first,” and become proficient in meeting customer needs as channel preferences shift and reliance on digital experiences grow.
Join speakers from Forrester and Acquia as they share market insights and best practices for brands making the digital leap. Their research will cover:
- How companies are shifting their priorities during COVID-19
- What consumers expect from brands as their buying behaviors have changed
- Why data gives marketers critical business insights on engagement strategy and channel migration
- How to successfully navigate re-openings across the country (and globe)
- How to boost agility so you can more nimbly adapt to future business changes
Traditional software organizations have spent the last decade+ adding sales headcount as revenue targets increase, fine-tuning cold calling strategies, and pushing reps "always be closing." But, it’s time to face the harsh reality: the future of a successful go-to-market strategy is product-led. In fact, the most successful IPOs and fastest growing private companies of the past five years all orient themselves around a cost-efficient product-led go-to-market. You have the opportunity to get ahead of the curve and change your sales motion, but only if you commit now to building a product-first organization.
In this session, Devon will discuss:
- How to adapt your organization to a product-first model
- Optimize conversion through stronger prospect engagement with a focus on customer success
- Lead your organization internally to make the shift to Product Qualified Leads
- Redirect spend and maximize output
How To Create A Billion $ Category: Mark Organ's Dreamforce '13 KeynoteInfluitive
Why just a build a company when you can create a whole new category instead? That’s the question that Influitive founder and CEO Mark Organ explored in his packed Founders Forum session at Dreamforce 2013.
Here’s one really good reason: category creators tend to grow revenue 4x faster and grow market cap 6x faster than those companies that enter a category later on.
Based on Mark’s experience building marketing automation category creator Eloqua, what he’s learned so far as Influitive (http://influitive.com) carves out a brand new category – advocate marketing – a little over a decade later, and his observations on why other powerful category creators, including Salesforce.com, Tesla and Keurig, have been so successful, his presentation proposes a whole new framework for category creation.

Playbook for Startup Demand Generation by Mark DonniganGoToMarketLauncher
In this presentation for founders needing to understand how to get started with marketing, you'll learn the framework for B2B marketing and demand generation along with the critical role that category design plays for an early-stage company.
Starting with the three marketing pillars, I present a unique view of demand generation using the jobs to be done structure. This forms the foundation for the demand gen flywheel that rotates around the functions of 'capture', 'educate', 'engage', and 'convert.'
I've included slides that outline the category creation process along with a careful description of what an early-stage marketing leader must be able to do. We close with a 90 day and beyond action plan.
Imperfect action is always my default recommendation. However, it should at least be "informed" imperfect action. I've found this deck to be an excellent conversation starter with founders about how to get started with marketing.
With these slides and the right mentor/guide to help you execute, you and your founding team should be able to cut off some of the "learning on the job" in the area of marketing, so that you can accelerate into the potential that you've promised employees and your investors.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Audience
9. Product-Led Growth is thriving. It is not enough for a product to just deliver its value proposition. It needs to meet customer
needs and seamlessly enabling accounts to grow.
IT consumerization, fierce competition, reduced switching costs and the rise of customers’ voice on social mediums are the
main factors supporting that direction. They increase customer demands and favor seamless experiences who don’t add
weight on end-users’ shoulders. Forcing in that way SaaS organizations to keep optimizing product experience on a
consistent cadence.
What is Product-Led Growth?
10. Product Led Growth is achieved when organizations leverage product usage, to drive acquisition, conversions, retention, and
expansion. Product-Led organizations deliver products that consider and answer customers’ evolving needs by delivering
stellar, customer-centric product experiences. When a Product-Led GTM strategy is at play, the product is not a part of the
customer experience.
In a Product-Led GTM strategy, the product is the experience.
An experience so strong and optimized that is driving conversions in a matter of minutes, while at the same time it is
delivered on a frequent cadence to embrace retention and expansion.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg. A Product-Led go-to-market strategy also aligns internal teams around product
insights, abandons internal silos and embraces an internal feedback loop across an entire organization.
Product-Led Growth as a GTM Strategy
11. Abandoned Paywalls: In a Product-Led GTM model, paywalls follow, rather than lead, and pricing scales as usage levels
increase. Product-led organizations adopt a freemium or free trial model. They abandon barriers to entry and allow users
to try before they buy. This fact alone liberates customers. They don’t have to rely on human-assisted activations and
long-term sales cycles to seal a deal.
Reduced Acquisition & Retention Costs: Products’ features are able to acquire, retain and expand accounts. At the same
time the sales cycle shortens, and acquisition and retention costs are being decreased.
Sustainable Engagement Levels: The delivery of product-driven experiences powered by customer feedback sustains
engagement levels.
Data-Driven Onboarding Journeys: Onboarding is now being delivered throughout the customer journey. Its ongoing
assessment enables it to become a data driven force that drives accounts down the customer lifecycle.
Organizational Cross Alignment: Internal organizations develop common product benchmarks & KPIs alongside business
metrics.
Increased Customer Satisfaction: The delivery of customer-centric products increases customer satisfaction & advocacy
levels.
Intuitive Product Features: Product management capitalizes on in-product behavior & delivers robust product features
meeting customers’ evolving needs.
