About this audiobook
Convention and the trillion-dollar sales industry claim that it's impossible for your product to sell itself. Yet, successful software businesses like Slack, Dropbox, Atlassian, and HubSpot make millions selling to customers who never once reached out to a sales rep.
In Product-Led Growth: How to Build a Product That Sells Itself, growth consultant Wes Bush challenges the traditional SaaS marketing and sales playbook and introduces a completely new way to sell products. Bush reveals how your product - not expensive sales teams - can be the main vehicle to acquire, convert, and retain customers.
In this step-by-step guide to Product-Led Growth, Bush explains:
- Why you should flip the traditional sales process on its head and turn your product into a sales machin
- How to decide whether your business should use a free trial, freemium, or hybrid model;
- How to turn free users into happy, paying customers
History tells us that "how" you sell is just as important as "what" you sell. Blockbuster couldn't compete with Netflix by selling the same digital content, and you need to decide "when" not "if" you'll innovate on the way you sell. Are you going to be product-led? Or will you be disrupted, too?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Some value where appropriate. You need a specific type of business for this information to be valuable. Quite honestly this is just like every book of the genre i.e. already successful person says a bunch of things you could try for your business in with some vagueness and little focus on protocol or assistance with scalable execution.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyed reading the book. Strongly recommend if you’re building a saas company
