In this segment, Dan Fougere breaks down how Product-Led Growth (PLG) fundamentally changes the traditional sales playbook. Drawing from his experience at Datadog and advising startups, he explains that PLG companies must rethink how they engage prospects—especially when users begin interacting with the product before any formal sales conversation.
Dan emphasizes the importance of usage signals—such as downloading the product or reading documentation—as triggers for sales outreach. He also discusses the risk of force-fitting old playbooks into new environments and advocates for a first principles approach: understanding how users buy, how they use the product, and what commercial conversations are relevant at each stage.
On this Veterans Day Week, check out one of the charities that’s important to Dan.
