Base Problems on “Struggling Moments”

If you're PLG and you want to increase conversions, give you visitors a mental picture of their problem

  • i.e. "the struggling moment"


The keyword is here "moment."


When you ask founders "what problem does your product solve," they often talk about meta-level problems like:

  • "data is disconnected"
  • "teams are siloed"
  • "you don't have good visibility"


While these are actual problems... they are hard to imagine.


With product-led growth, you need to reduce friction as much as possible—which means helping people visualize a moment where disconnected data becomes tangible.


Think about old school infomercials.

  • Before they show the solution, they show several struggling moments in rapid succession.


Start with the meta-problem and work your way to down to individual's actual day-to-day experiences.
