In this episode:

James Abraham and guest Ben Williams, known as the Product-Led Geek, delves into the synergy between product-led growth (PLG) and traditional sales. Highlighting how PLG focuses on the product as the main driver for user acquisition, retention, and monetization, allowing users to experience value before any financial commitment. Citing examples like Zoom and Slack, Ben underscores the misconception that PLG excludes human sales touchpoints.
