Today on the show we have Emilia Korczynska, the VP of Marketing at Userpilot.

In this episode, Emilia shares her insights into the ongoing debate between Product-Led Growth (PLG) and Sales-Led Growth (SLG) strategies in SaaS companies.

Emilia shared surprising findings from Userpilot’s latest SaaS product metrics benchmark report, which challenge common assumptions about PLG effectiveness.

We wrapped up by exploring how these insights are influencing Userpilot's product positioning and strategy moving forward, along with the importance of understanding customer needs through both qualitative and quantitative data.
