HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

[00:02:24] "The definition of PLG is effectively that the product is the primary driver of your go-to-market."
[00:06:19] "Calendly is a prototypical, very easy-to-get-started-with PLG example. The product would be so great that people could just come in and use it."
[00:10:59] "We see a huge opportunity for a PLG company who's done some amount of that work already. How do you better tie in the sales efforts to accelerate the sales process using a lot of that product data?"
[00:24:20] "In a PLG motion, everybody's interfacing on the same product data. So that entire team is operating against that shared source of truth, which makes it more multi-threaded, maybe a little bit more complex, but also easier for the customer to understand."
