Our notes

Asia Orangio of DemandMaven shares the foundations she sees in product-led SaaS companies that keep growing without a sales team. She covers why self-serve funnels fail to convert, using MaxDiff surveys and jobs-to-be-done research to inform pricing, retention work beyond onboarding checklists, and expansion revenue from existing customers. She also addresses when hiring salespeople makes sense.
