Knowledge Base
4 itemsActivation Benchmarks by Stage: What Good Looks Likeframework
Based on surveys of hundreds of B2B SaaS companies (Lenny's Newsletter, 2023), typical activation benchmarks by stage: early (pre-PMF): 10-25% trial-to-active, growth stage: 30-50%, scaled: 50-70%. Activation is defined as the user completing the action that correlates with long-term retention (varies by product). The biggest lever is identifying the correct activation milestone, not just optimising the funnel to the wrong one.
PLG vs SLG: How to Choose Your Go-To-Market Motionframework
PLG (product-led growth) works when: the product delivers value in minutes, the buying decision is made by an individual user, and the price point supports self-serve. SLG (sales-led growth) works when: the product requires significant configuration, the buying decision involves a committee, or the price point supports a sales team. Most B2B companies benefit from a PLG-to-SLG handoff: self-serve for individuals and small teams, sales for enterprise.
