High-growth startups are adopting a hybrid GTM approach that combines the advantages of product-led growth (PLG) and sales-led growth (SLG).
PLG offers a low-cost, high-reach entry point into markets, but it can result in high churn rates and lower-quality leads.
SLG prioritizes high-touch interactions with decision-makers and provides stable, high-quality revenue, but it can be costly and time-intensive.
The best approach is to integrate both PLG and SLG, leveraging PLG for reach and SLG for retention and profitability, creating a powerful growth engine.
