Testimonials
"HeadsUp is a game-changer. Being able to pull up product usage data in Salesforce allows us to make GTM decisions with data. No longer are we relying on anecdotes!"
Gabriel Lim, CEO
"Visibility into product usage is a dream come true for sales teams. HeadsUp is solving the hard part – figuring out the messy data behind the scenes – so you don't have to."
Julio Bermudez, VP Sales
"I don't know any business at scale that isn't thinking hard about how to better leverage Product Led Growth. It doesn't just reduce friction; it can connect product usage directly with revenue. Product Qualified Leads is how those product signals make their way into account intelligence. This detailed guide explains all the essential concepts to do it well."
Martina Lauchengco
"Product-Led Growth, Product-Qualified Leads, Bottoms-Up SaaS. Are these just over-hyped terms? What do they actually mean for your business? Having been a founder, and now GTM leader in B2B SaaS, I wish I had this guide available to me earlier in my journey. It's detailed, tactical, and draws from the lessons of real PLG rocketships"
Gabriel Lim
"No matter a company's size or stage, though, it's not easy to successfully execute on a PLG model. In this guide, HeadsUp shares a wealth of knowledge designed to empower any team to find success with PLG."
Clair Byrd, Partner at Wing VC
"In experimenting with our PQL model, we are hoping that we can drive increased conversion for our sales team by giving them a smaller number of opportunities to work on day-to-day; so we can focus on improving the quality of messaging, and increasing the close rate."
Bernard Desarnauts, VP of Product at PandaDoc
"We try to provide our PQLs with content that will help them get more value out of Prefect. Perhaps there are things they didn't know that they could use — integrations, automations, or our API. There are customers out there who want help, but for some reason are reluctant to ask or don't know where to go to get it. We try to make that available to our PQLs through a content programme and targeted ads."
Chris Reuter, Head of Growth at Prefect
