Open the floodgates with PLG
Introducing and scaling a product-led model can be lucrative, but it also requires a completely new sales motion.

The downmarket challenge
Opening a product-led channel is a different ball game to chasing enterprise sales. You need to:
- Create an optimized checkout and automate your subscription logic.
- Handle global sales taxes and make changes to your product and commercial teams.
- Implement self-serve alongside your existing outbound sales structure.
What’s more, hybrid billing can lead to siloed data and processes, which makes reporting on revenue even more challenging.
