If you're PLG, ask yourself:
→ does my product "sell itself" within one account? 🤔
→ or does it "sell itself" to multiple accounts? 🤩
Not all PLG strategies are created equal 🙅🏻‍♂️
The vast majority of PLG companies encourage expansion within one single company
↳ For example: Asana
encourages you to "add your team members" when you sign up.
But the true hyper-growth PLG companies find ways for the product to encourage expansion BEYOND your company 🚀
Take the example of Calendly.
Like Asana, the product encourages you to add your team members...
But it also encourages you to send Calendly links to ANYONE who wants to meet with you—even those outside your company.
Every time you send a Calendly, it has the chance of 🦠infecting 🦠an entirely new account — which in turn can spread to all THEIR employees like a virus.
These are the stories you hear of founders saying "we didn't do ANY marketing and our user base still skyrocketed."
