Integrating Product-Led and Sales-Led Strategies at Zapier - Lindsay Rothlisberger
Listen now
Description
Is the future of SaaS growth product-led or sales-led? What if it's both? Zapier uses PLG to create an ecosystem of users and product signals which then drives their sales-led outreach. Coordinating these motions in parallel takes technical sophistication, great communication, and tight process. Fortunately, they have a unified RevOps team that keeps everyone on the same page. This week we chat with Lindsay Rothlisberger, Director of RevOps at Zapier, about how her team helps the magic happen. Thanks to Our SponsorMany thanks to the sponsor of this episode - Knak.
