In a word: nope. Whether youāre just getting started in SaaS or you have 3+ years of experience in software, marketing, growth, product, customer success, or user design under your belt, this training program will give you the knowledge and skills to become a product-led growth expert.
Youāll learn not just WHAT to think about product-led growth, but HOW to think about it ā and youāll learn how to confidently implement these strategies in your company or for private clients. The program teaches you the exact same principles, methodology, and practical techniques that helped power meteoric growth at companies including Slack, Dropbox, Zoom, and Canva.
The Product-Led Growth Certification Program is built for software founders looking to make the switch from sales-led to product-led. Itās also designed for those working in marketing, product, growth, UX/UI design, customer experience, and CRO roles.

Along with exploring and understanding the actual nuts and bolts of PLG, youāll learn how to get buy-in from others in your organization, and ease the shift into a product-led business.

Integrating product-led growth and sales-led growth to create a hybrid model
Turning more free trial users into paid customers via better onboarding, in-product experiences, and follow-up
Struggling to identify and prioritize opportunities for growth
And a whole lot more
