Product-Led Growth That Shrinks Time-to-Value, Expands Revenue,
and Lets Your SaaS Sell Itself

If 27-step sign-ups and “hope-it-works” freemium bets feel like dead weight, stay with us.
ARISE GTM is the PLG partner for CMOs, CROs, and Product leaders ready to…
  • Slash onboarding friction by 78%,  just like Hibooks, where we carved 27 steps down to 6 and lit up the “aha!” moment in record time.

  • Unlock a freemium motion that prints pipeline, Aquant went from guessing to a dialled-in, value-first GTM that converts self-service users into high-ACV deals.

  • Re-engineer products around outcomes, not features. GaiaLens turned a modular maze into a build-your-own freemium ESG platform, boosting activation and retention.

Warning: side effects include lower CAC, faster payback, and GTM teams that actually sleep at night.

  • Align marketing, product, and sales in one PLG flywheel, so growth compounds instead of departments colliding.

  • Swap vanity reporting for activation, expansion, and NRR dashboards your board will actually quote.

  • Automate in-app guides, lifecycle emails, and contextual nudges,  goodbye, hand-holding webinars and high-touch churn.

Ready to architect the Product-Led Growth engine your teams (and investors) brag about? Let’s get building.

How we run PLG at AriseGTM

Discover how we focus on mastering four key stages for product-led growth: marketing onboarding, platform onboarding, value onboarding and peer-led onboarding distributed across PLG strategy, UX/UI, implementation and optimisation.

Stage 1: Internal Alignment & Objective Setting

In a focused PLG workshop, we work with your team to identify your goals and objectives. From early-stage PLG modelling to comprehensive PLG GTM strategy, we build trust and rapport while providing solid future insights.

Stage 2: ARISE OS Assessment & Product-Led Growth Strategy

Through a structured ARISE OS sprint, we identify data gaps, process bottlenecks, tech stack issues, and strategic blind spots hindering your PLG GTM, and deliver a PLG strategy designed to scale.

Stage 3: Implementation & Support

You exit this stage with an executed, sprint-based product-led GTM strategy, operationalised PLG GTM with a HubSpot-Customer.io tech stack, aligned teams, defined owners, and zero wasted time.

How AriseGTM helps:

User-Centric Design

Arise GTM can help design and implement user interfaces that are intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring that users can easily navigate and utilise your product features.

Implementing contextual in-app messages and tooltips can guide users through complex features, enhancing their overall experience and ensuring they make the most of the product.

Driving User Engagement and Retention

How AriseGTM helps

Engagement Strategies

We can deploy various engagement strategies such as lifecycle marketing, gamification, personalised content, and regular feature updates to keep users engaged and invested in the product.

What our customers say

We hired the team based on a recommendation from our ABM technology partner and it has been one of the best experiences we've had. The whole team caught on very quickly to our business model and was able to help us effectively create customer personas, associated messaging and create relevant content quickly. Their comfort level with our tech stack (ABM, HubSpot Marketing, Sales and CRM, and Cognism) was impressive and critical to moving quickly. I have truly come to think of them as part of my marketing team.
Humphries, H
Sales and Marketing Director, DSSI (Acquired)

We recommend the team highly. After deciding that our HubSpot instance and pipeline were no longer fit for purpose, they helped us to completely revolutionise our approach. We now have a solution which is scalable, ready for our next phase of growth and enables our SDRs and AEs to focus on what really matters, driving and converting pipeline.

The team helped us turn our design ideas into a full-functioning website integrated with HubSpot, which has delivered a high standard of experience and a seamless customer journey. We are delighted with our site and CMS and working with Paul and his team was rewarding and enjoyable. We were particularly impressed with the speed of turnaround and how flexible and available they were.
Brunt, M
Co-Founder, HM Advisory
HBM advisory Testimonial logo
From the outset, they impressed us with their in-depth knowledge of HubSpot's capabilities. However, what truly set them apart was their commitment to understanding our unique business model. They conducted a thorough competitive analysis and took the time to delve into our specific needs and goals. This resulted in a customized implementation plan that directly addressed our challenges and opportunities. But their expertise extended beyond the software itself.
Mendiratta, A
Innovation Leader, Direct Sourcing
DSSI logo transparent
Working with the team in a time of turmoil and uncertainty for the industry the business operates in through the pandemic, meant we needed to ensure that the investment of the partnership for this contract was a must success. Paul and his team allowed new software integration to be fluid and seamless to our current processes and existing systems and helped greatly with our new sales systems and sales contact onboarding.
Collings, B
Managing Director, Showcase Events

HUBX decided to migrate from Pipedrive to HubSpot to take advantage of a fully integrated CRM & marketing automation solution that seamlessly connected customer information through to the customer success and service teams. The difference with Paul is that not only does he understand the what and why but he also knows the right way to deploy the tech to get the best result.

What is Product-Led Growth (PLG) in B2B SaaS?

PLG is a go-to-market strategy where your product—whether it's a free trial, freemium, or reverse trial—does the heavy lifting for acquisition, activation, and expansion. Users experience value first, then upgrade, giving you shorter sales cycles and lower CAC.

Why is PLG exploding right now?

Because today’s buyers hate high-touch funnels, 3 out of 4 B2B decision-makers would rather self-educate than talk to sales, and 53 % of all software buyers expect a friction-free, self-serve path.

How does PLG cut Customer Acquisition Costs for CMOs?

Happy users become your top-of-funnel engine—word-of-mouth loops replace pricey ads, while self-serve onboarding slashes paid media spend. Lower CAC is a core, proven outcome of PLG adoption. 

What CRO pain points does PLG fix?
  • Forecast wobble → Product-qualified leads (PQLs) convert with clearer intent signals.

  • Long deals → Users “sell themselves,” collapsing cycle time.

  • Churn creep → Land-and-expand motions drive 130–150 % Net Dollar Retention in best-in-class PLG firms.

Is PLG only for SMB or freemium apps?

No. Enterprise names like HubSpot, Datadog and ServiceNow layer PLG on top of traditional sales. You can run a hybrid model—self-serve for entry, and sales-assist for upselling. 

How fast will we see results?

Most clients hit quick wins (shorter time-to-value, uplift in activation) inside 90 days; durable revenue gains (NRR, CAC payback) usually show up within two quarters once product, RevOps and growth loops are tuned. Timelines vary by data readiness and engineering bandwidth.

What does an Arise GTM PLG engagement look like?
  • 60-minute Diagnostic Call → gaps, quick wins, ROI model.

  • Workshop → current state, goals, objectives, trust and rapport building.

  • 4-week PLG Sprint → onboarding teardown, data wiring, PQL definition.
  • Quarterly Flywheel → experimentation roadmap, pricing/paywall tests, RevOps alignment.

How much should we budget?
  • Early-stage SaaS firms typically invest £4–6 k/mo;
  • growth-stage companies £10–15 k/mo;
  • enterprise programmes £25 k+ for a fractional VP Growth plus squad.
Which metrics matter in a PLG motion?

Activation %, Time-to-Value (TTV), Product-Qualified Leads/Accounts, Net Dollar Retention, and Natural Rate of Growth. Track these weekly; they’re the north stars every PLG sprint optimises. 

Which metrics matter in a PLG motion?

Activation %, Time-to-Value (TTV), Product-Qualified Leads/Accounts, Net Dollar Retention, and Natural Rate of Growth. Track these weekly; they’re the north stars every PLG sprint optimises.

Will PLG replace our sales team?

No. PLG re-focuses sales on high-intent, in-product signals. Think product-led sales: reps engage when usage data screams “ready to buy,” boosting win-rate and average deal size.

What organisational changes are required?

Expect tighter loops among Product, Marketing, Sales and Success; shared dashboards; and OKRs tied to activation and expansion. Data instrumentation and experimentation muscle move from “nice to have” to “must have.”
