Product-led growth (PLG) starts with the end user. And a healthy PLG engine depends on users discovering your product through no- or low-cost channels, including word-of-mouth, organic search, product virality, communities, and marketplaces.

But Kyle Poyar of OpenView points out that as PLG companies grow past $10M annual recurring revenue (ARR), your larger accounts start to drive a disproportionate amount of revenue and incremental growth, and these accounts will typically begin their journey with a product interaction before they ever talk to sales. As a result, you'll manage to close larger and larger deals by simply allowing users to opt into a sales-led path or by adopting the product qualified lead (PQL) playbook. So, it's no wonder that PLG companies contemplate introducing an outbound motion.

In this episode of Product Led Revenue, Kyle gets into the outbound side in a PLG motion and its benefits. Kyle and our host Breezy Beaumont discuss a new era for PLG, challenges for PLG organizations, and how to handle person email signups.
