Customer-Led Growth: The No-BS Way to Scale Your SaaS


Listen Later

If you’re trying to scale your SaaS, but you’re stuck tweaking features, following best practices and listening to experts who know nothing about you, your customers or your product… you’re doing it wrong. 

In this no-fluff episode of the Forget The Funnel podcast, Gia and Claire cut through the noise and give you the exact steps for growing your product by understanding what your best customers actually need.

Forget building for the masses. 

Forget best practices. 

Forget guesswork. 

It’s time to focus on the customers who understand the value of your product and turn them into loyal, long-term revenue. Customer-Led Growth is the framework that gets you there—fast.

What You’ll Learn

00:36 — What the heck is Customer-Led Growth? Claire and Gia break down why most SaaS founders misinterpret this concept—and why it’s costing you scale.

07:34 — Step One: Get out of your product bubble and into your customer’s head. Why focusing on the customer’s problem—not your product—is where growth starts.

11:15 — Step Two: Map the customer journey like a pro. Learn how to move beyond “trial to paid” and take customers from curious prospects to raving fans.

21:17 — Build high-converting customer experiences by solving real problems—no shiny features needed.

23:04 — Step Three: Figure out what “good” really looks like for your best-fit customers and find the gaps in your current experience.

26:43 — Case Study: Claire and Gia walk you through how they used the CLG framework with Invoice Simple to uncover hidden growth levers.

Why This Matters

Scaling your SaaS isn’t about cramming in new features or guessing what customers want. It’s about understanding who your best customers are and solving their real problems. That’s what drives growth. If you want to unlock real scale, this episode is your playbook.
