THE HISTORY OF SOFTWARE
GO-TO-MARKET
“Companies were investing massive amounts in
building high-touch teams that operated in far-flung
offices. We broke that mold—mostly because we
couldn’t afford to follow it in the traditional way—and
proved that telesales could win a high close rate at
one-third the cost and in one-third the amount of
the time as the traditional selling model.”

THE NEXT FRONTIER OF
GO-TO-MARKET IS
PRODUCT LED GROWTH.

PRODUCT LED GROWTH.
PRODUCT USAGE SERVES AS
THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF
USER ACQUISITION,
EXPANSION AND RETENTION.

WHAT’S DRIVING THIS?
Proprietary and Confidential ©2018 OpenView Advisors, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
Millennials hate crappy software and
solve problems with google.
Implementation is
fast and easy
No budget
approval required
Cost of switching
solutions is low
BUT WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
Proprietary and Confidential ©2018 OpenView Advisors, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
COMPANIES THAT ARE
PRODUCT LED TEND TO HAVE
BETTER ECONOMIC MODELS.

THAT’S GREAT ADAM, BUT
PLG IS NOT FOR ME.

EVEN THE FATHER OF
INBOUND HAS RELIGION.

“I stopped thinking about our business like a
traditional sales and marketing firm. It's more like a
flywheel where the customers are the main driver that
pulls new prospects in. That flywheel spins at the
rate of our customers’ delight.
Brian Halligan
Co-Founder & CEO, Hubspot
