Quotes

  • "The ideal candidate for a product-led growth is one that has short sales cycles. Your buyers are well-educated, tech savvy. They're well-seasoned tech buyers. They don't need a whole lot of hand-holding." - Rob Freedman

  • "Marketing-led is also called a kind of full funnel or omni-channel approach. And this is where the marketing owns the entire customer journey from SEO, thought leadership, and building that demand-gen engine across many, many channels, wherever that buyer may be, and helping guide them through the discovery and investigation-type phases of their buying journey.." - Rob Freedman

  • "Salesforce is a great example of a sales led growth machine. Very good at it, aimed at larger enterprises, very complex tool." - Rob Freedman

  • "content is king. But being an avid chess fan, I like to say that strategy is the queen, and we all know that's the more powerful piece." - Rob Freedman
