_____________07:00 PM (19:00), GMT+2, five sessions over 2.5 Weeks_____________ More and more B2B SaaS companies with great products simply die because they cannot reach their audience to create a commercially successful product. (Product-led) "Growth" is the art of connecting users as cost-efficiently as possible to the value your product offers. It connects the promises made by Marketing with the experience your Product teams build. Yet, most B2B SaaS companies do not have a dedicated Growth function or talented Growth PMs to master this distribution model. It's a hot potato that is commonly passed around between product, marketing, and sales. The top quartile SaaS companies between 5 and 20m in revenue are growing over 70% year over year, with an 8 month CAC payback, 110% Net dollar retention while having an 85% Gross Margin with an average Annual Revenue of over 250’000$. (Source: Growth Unhinged 2023 Report) All these companies have one thing in common: a deep understanding of Product-led Growth. * How do we in B2B address the growing problem of everyone asking for an improved buying experience and self-serve? * How do you package your offering with freemium, trial and/or interactive demo? * How do we activate individuals, teams and accounts in B2B as cost efficient as possible to drive our pipeline? * How does Product-led Growth work with an existing Sales motion? * How do we structure a strategy to bring product-led growth into our business? Leah Tharin brought product-led growth as an operative, executive, and Advisor to dozens of B2B scale-up companies&nbsp;to optimize their user acquisition, retention, and monetization. She's recognized as an Industry leader on the topic, having written some of the most referenced Product-led Growth &amp; Sales material to date. She evaluates B2B SaaS scale-up Growth Motions for Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds. Understand and structure a (product-led) growth strategy that works for your business. It is designed for leaders and product managers from all functions who want to understand and not just blindly execute. The course runs over 2.5 weeks (5 live recorded Zoom classes). All sessions have prerecorded material for you to study in your own time, the live sessions are solely focussed on world-class guest speakers, collaborative group exercises and your questions. You can expect per week about 2-3 hours of study for the asynchronous material at your own pace + 60-75 minutes per live session. Over 20 Guest speakers from past cohorts for example :* Adam Fishman, SVP new products @ Mozilla, Investor &amp; Advisor* John Cutler, ex- Evangelist @ Amplitude &amp; Toast* Itxaso Del Palacio, General Partner @ Notion VC* Benjamin Lamson, Head of Paperspace Revenue @ DigitalOcean* Casey Hill, Sr. Growth Manager @ Active Campaign* Henrique Cruz, Head of Growth @ Rows.com* Sara Gattoni, Senior Lead Growth PM @ Lokalise* Andrew Davies, CMO @ Paddle...and many more This course is not a good fit for: * Companies pre product market fit which are extremely early in their journey. * Non-software or D2C companies * Highly regulated industries that deal with government contracts
