Operations with Sean Lane

What it Really Takes to Run Slack's PLG Motion with Namrata Ram


Listen Later

Product-Led Growth, or PLG, is about as buzzword-y a buzzword as you can find right now.


But what does it take to actually run a real PLG motion at scale? For the answers, we’re turning to one of the most successful PLG companies you can find: Slack. Our guest on this episode is Namrata Ram, Slack’s VP of Sales Strategy and Operations.


In our conversation, Namrata teaches us why scale and retention are the two foundational ingredients for PLG, when humans should and should not get involved in PLG motions, and if you stick around, you might be surprised to hear why Namrata says you shouldn’t be overly reliant on PLG itself.
