About this listen
"Product-Led Growth is about helping your customers experience the ongoing value your product provides...and this book shows you how it’s done." (Nir Eyal, author of Hooked and Indistractible)
"As captivating as a good novel, Product-Led Growth is an absolute must-read for SaaS business owners." (Omar Zenhom, CEO, WebinarNinja)
"Why did I just blow $300K promoting a whitepaper?"
That’s the hard question I asked myself but couldn’t answer - after all, we were just following the same old SaaS playbook. Sure, sales cycles were long and acquisition was expensive, but that’s how everybody grew their companies.
But after I helped launch a freemium product that went from 0-100K users in less than 12 months, I realized the traditional way of selling software was deeply flawed.
Hi, I’m Wes Bush, founder of the Product-Led Institute. And in Product-Led Growth, I show you how you can cut your acquisition costs and scale further than you ever thought possible...by making your product the tool that helps you acquire, convert, and retain customers.
But what does it mean to be "product-led"? How do you know if a product-led growth strategy makes sense for your business? And most importantly, how do you execute it?
You’ll find answers to all of these questions inside this audiobook. In addition, I’ll also show you:
- How to save three to six months of development and hundreds of thousands of dollars by launching a free trial in 24 hours - and why you should do it (Ch. 10)
- Which huge mistake ProfitWell's Patrick Campbell says can "kill your growth and set you up for long-term failure"...and how to avoid making it (Ch. 8)
- How to turn more users into customers with the simple framework I invented - that already drives brands millions in revenue (Ch. 13)
- Why you can't ever stop your churn, but how you can (almost) wipe it out (Ch. 15)
- The four-letter decision framework that will help you nail the right go-to-market strategy and growth model for your SaaS (Ch. 2)
- Which of the four most common SaaS pricing strategies is the only one with long-term viability (Ch. 9)
- What the "Triple-A" sprint cycle is and how to use it to build a sustainable growth process - in just one month (Ch. 12)
- How to stop paying customers from slipping away (Ch. 15)
- The three apocalyptic "tidal waves" that are coming for SaaS companies - and what you must do to survive them (Ch. 1)
- How to make free trial and freemium users hunger to upgrade to paid (Ch. 9)
- The single biggest cause of leaky funnels and how to fix it, fast (Ch. 10)
- Which seven people you need in your "tiger team" to run a successful product-led growth team (Ch. 11)
- The number one thing to improve right now to maximize your customer lifetime value (Ch. 14)
Product-Led Growth also comes packed with "do this, not that" real-life examples from the industry’s biggest brands - as well as a collection of high-converting email scripts you can customize and send out immediately to turn more users into customers.
So, if you are a SaaS founder, key decision-maker, or marketer wondering what your next strategic step should be, order your copy of Product-Led Growth today.
"This is one of my favorite books of 2019." (Zeno Roch, Chief Product Office, Liferay Cloud)
"A must-read book for SaaS founders, especially if you have a self-serve SaaS." (Kaloyan Yankulov, Encharge)
"This book is epic. If you want to know more about how to build a product-led business, you need to read this. Go. Buy. It. Now." (James Gill, CEO, GoSquared)

Good listen, but maybe one for Kindle or paperback
The book was a good listen and the content was very relevant but there was a lot of practical information in there that was tough to get the full benefit from I'd imagine on audible. With a physical or digital version that you can read, make notes and follow there may be greater value. I will likely pick a Kindle version up and re-read at some point.

Good information, poor delivery
Wes Bush's 'Product Led Growth' is currently the standout book on the market to learn about how to change your sales approach using PLG. Most people will be familiar with freemium models (think Spotify, Slack, Zoom) as well as free trials (think Apple TV+, Nintendo Switch Online) but won't have dug into the bank or thinking that sits behind these approaches. PLG as a term was only coined in 2016 by OpenView’s Blake Bartlett, so perhaps it's not surprising that the market isn't replete with wisdom literature on this subject.
If your organisation wants to move into the PLG space with a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering, this, alongside OpenView Venture Partnership website, is the place to start. This book provides a broad sweep of everything to consider. It's practical and would work well as a short book to work through with colleagues, particularly if you are evaluating or thinking of implementing PLG in your organisation. Additionally, I was impressed that the author offers a PDF of the book for free, which is really putting the PLG sales model to the test.
I walked away with a number of pet peeves about this book. Firstly, the narration was poor, very stilted and lacking energy and joy; it felt like a poor match to the text. The book was full of sudden gear changes into colloquial language e.g. "what are you waiting for?" at the end of paragraphs which really grated. Content-wise ending each chapter with a sentence about the next chapter wasn't for me and the occasional gratuitous swear word felt odd and unnecessary. I had hoped for more.
There are undoubtedly some useful insights in here, but overall I was left feeling like the topic is ripe for someone to come in and write a go-to classic on the subject. This is a 3-star book, with a 4-star rating until something better comes along.

A must-read for product companies
This book gives to-the-point advice on how to successfully build and sell a product and sheds light on why it's so important to know your customers, end-users and markets.
The narrator was pretty monotonous to listen to, but the story is compelling enough to get past it, in my opinion.

Direct
Practical and direct. My 3rd time reviewing the content. Great book. It's better to go to the written book to see the images and tables. it worked for me as I have the ebook on Kindle.
