Sales-Led Growth (SLG)

SLG, Sales-Led Growth
Definition

New customers mainly come from your sales team directly selling.

Why it matters

In an SLG model, your marketing’s job is to feed the sales team high-quality leads. If your website is attracting the wrong people, your sales team is wasting hours on calls that go nowhere. Marketing needs to act as a "filter" that educates the lead so that by the time they talk to a human, they are already halfway to a "yes."
