Product-led coach helping founders scale from 6 to 8-figures in product-led revenue. Author of the bestselling book, Product-Led Growth.

Over the last 8 years, I’ve worked hands-on with 400+ SaaS companies, helping them unlock $1B+ in self-serve revenue through Product-Led Growth (PLG).

Yet, right now, the failure rate for product-led companies is still far too high.

I’m on a mission to change that because I believe the world needs more product-led companies where you can try before you buy. 

This approach builds trust faster than any sales pitch ever could—after all, 97% of buyers prefer it. But, let’s be real, PLG isn’t easy.

That’s why I’m here to help in three ways:

➡️ Is PLG is right for you?

I wrote the bestselling book, Product-Led Growth: How to Build a Product That Sells Itself, to help you determine if PLG is the right strategy for your business. 

You can read it for free at ProductLed.com/Book—my treat!

➡️ What’s the best approach to scale up PLG?

After two years of research and working with hundreds of companies, I discovered the 9 essential elements that separate PLG success stories from the rest. 

I break it all down in The Product-Led Playbook.

➡️ Ready to scale up?

If you’re ready to scale and need hands-on help, our ProductLed Implementers are here. They aren't consultants—they are experienced PLG operators who want to roll up their sleeves and work alongside your team to help you address your biggest growth bottleneck, whether that's getting more users to sign up, upgrade, or get to value.

Since we only work with a handful of clients at a time and guarantee growth, you must apply to work with us at ProductLed.com

There’s ZERO chance companies like Cursor, Lovable or any AI-native SaaS can scale at this lightning pace without PLG.

You can’t scale with AI alone. 

You need a strong product-led motion to power it.

Without a self-serve product experience and rapid time-to-value, these companies wouldn't be able to hit the growth rates we're seeing.

To put it simply,

AI is the rocket. PLG is the fuel.

Let’s look at the numbers…

Both Cursor and Lovable hit $100M ARR in under a year with explosive, largely through self-serve growth.

Could any sales-led SaaS company scale to $100M in under a year? Even with an elite outbound team?

No chance.

This kind of growth isn't possible without a product users can adopt immediately, a frictionless self-serve experience, and organic expansion loops.

AI removes friction from the product experience through faster workflows, better outputs, more intuitive interfaces. But PLG removes friction from everything else: onboarding, adoption, expansion, and monetization.

You need both.

AI-native companies that build without a PLG motion will hit the same growth ceiling that every other sales-led SaaS has hit. They'll need more reps, longer sales cycles, and heavier implementation.

All the old problems that PLG was designed to solve.

AI creates the capability.

PLG creates the velocity.

If you’re a B2B SaaS debating which user recording tool to use, just go for Microsoft Clarity.

It does everything Hotjar does, but better - and it's completely free.

That sounds too good to be true, but after working with hundreds of SaaS companies, we recommend Clarity to every client at ProductLed.

Here's why…

Hotjar bogs down your website. It's clunky, it's expensive, and honestly, there's no good reason to use it anymore.

Clarity isn't just a basic free alternative.

There's real depth under the hood. You can feed it events, send user information, and run sophisticated analysis. It's a genuinely powerful tool that happens to cost nothing.

Companies default to tools they think are "industry standard" without questioning whether those tools actually work.

When you're trying to reduce friction in your self-serve funnel, the last thing you need is an analytics tool that slows everything down.

Note: This is not a paid promotion. Simply a tool we’ve been (and our clients too) loving.

VP Product Marketing at Kajabi | Building PMM Office Hours

Hi, I’m Tamara 👋🏻

I’ve built teams, launched products, and shaped strategy at the executive level (Chief Strategy Officer and 2X VP Product Marketing). Now, I'm a community builder.

I started PMM Camp because I kept hearing the same thing I’d felt for years: "I love product marketing, but I hate doing it alone." And that pain only got louder the more senior I became.

I’m not just a PMM leader — I’m a connector. With PMM Camp, I’ve built the space I wish I had: a place where sharp, generous product marketing leaders come together to share, support, and grow.

Because the best PMM leaders know: it’s not just about having the right tools or playbooks. It's about having the right people in your corner.

If that sounds like what you’ve been missing, here’s how we can stay connected:

✨ Join the community: PMM Camp is the only private space built exclusively for product marketing leaders. Inside, you’ll find expert-led events, 1:1 matching, small group sessions, and real support from people who get it.

✨ Subscribe to the newsletter: Stop second-guessing your strategy. Get the free newsletter helping 9,000+ PMMs drive results and earn trust across their org — one Sunday strategy session at a time.

✨ Grab the KPI Toolkit: If you’re struggling to prove the impact of your work, this is a good place to start. It’s our most popular resource — with templates, examples, and guidance to make your results impossible to ignore.

Some PMMs get promoted without delivering impact.
Others deliver without getting promoted.

Who rises fastest in PMM often has very little connection to who’s doing the best work.

You can…

Deliver on time (or early).
Nail the largest launches.
Talk about what you accomplished.

But you still don’t get noticed.

Here’s why 👇🏻

You haven’t mastered the art of strategic visibility.

Strategic visibility is what will earn you trust, influence, and ultimately, a seat at the table.

What most PMMs don’t realize is that visibility isn’t about volume, it’s about framing.

Two PMMs can do the exact same work, but the one who gets noticed is the one who knows how to position it.

→ Good PMMs talk about what they did.
→ Better PMMs talk about what they solved.
→ The best PMMs talk about what they made possible.

They draw a straight line from their work to business outcomes, and they build simple, predictable rhythms for sharing results.

You can think about it like this:

→ TASK LEVEL

The PMMs who stay overlooked tend to communicate at the task level:

“We launched X.” “We shipped Y.”

It’s accurate, but it’s not particularly meaningful.

→ PROBLEM LEVEL

The PMMs who start getting traction shift to the problem level:

“Here’s what we unblocked.”
“Here’s what improved because of this work.”

People start to see the connection between PMM and progress.

→ POSSIBILITY LEVEL

The PMMs who become indispensable operate at the possibility level:

“Here’s what this made possible for customers.”
“Here’s how this moved the business forward.”

Now they’re not seen as executors, they’re seen as strategic drivers.

Language shapes perception. 

So if you’ve been feeling overlooked, start here:

1️⃣ Reframe your updates from what you did to what it unlocked.
2️⃣ Share results on a repeatable cadence (even the small ones).
3️⃣ Show how you moved the business forward, not just how you launched features.

That’s how the best PMMs get the praise (and promotion) they deserve.

✨ Product Marketing Leadership Coach | 2X VP PMM | I help PMMs build the habits that make them indispensable

If you’ve ever wished there was a PMM Camp for product managers — good news, there is now.
 
My friend Ramli John just launched the Product Leaders Lab, a private community for experienced product leaders who are exhausted from firefighting and want more space to think, lead, and stay ahead.
 
It’s built around small groups, honest conversations, and a continuous leadership practice — the same things PMM Camp members tell me make all the difference.
 
If you lead product, you should apply.  
If you’re a PMM, send this to your product counterpart.

P.S. Ramli John ⭐️ I'm feeling a cross-over collab in the works for 2026...the ultimate PM/PMM leader workshop!

Founder @ Delight Path. 2x best-selling author. New book “Eureka” now available. Author of “Product-Led Onboarding” (+40K copies sold).

I've had the same conversation 30 times in the past few weeks. Different product leaders. Different companies. Same exhaustion...


Here's what I heard:

🔥 "I'm exhausted from constant firefighting."
🙅‍♂️ "I need to learn to say no with confidence."
😵 "AI is changing things so much. It's hard to catch up."
🤔 "I need more space for strategic thinking than being stuck in the weeds."

Product leaders are stuck firefighting when they want to be two steps ahead. 

AI's moving fast, expectations are moving faster, and we're supposed to have all the answers while coaching our team and keeping execs confident.

And when we finally pause? It's hard to find people who actually get what it's like to sit in our seat.

The truth is that we don't need another framework or AI playbook.

We need space to think, connect with peers who get it, and build our leadership practice.

That's why I'm excited to finally announce the Product Leaders Lab. 🧪

A private community I'm building for experienced product leaders (CPOs, VPs, Directors, Heads, Group PMs, etc.) who want to stay ahead and lead through change with confidence.

Inside the Lab, you'll get:

→ Cabin Crews: Small groups of 5-6 peers for honest conversations and accountability
→ Workshops & AMAs: Leadership topics like setting strategy, managing up, and leading through AI-driven change
→ Co-Labs: Bring a challenge, leave with clarity and support
→ The Leadership Library: Resources on defining success, influencing without authority, and building teams that scale

I'm also intentionally building for diversity. The industry is male-dominated, and I'm aiming for at least 50% of members to be women. There's real value in creating a more balanced space where different perspectives shape the conversation.

I'm opening 25 Founding Member spots right now.

Apply by November 25 to help shape the Lab.

✅ Apply now → https://lnkd.in/gHrG7AaB

I've already said yes to a handful of product leaders:

→ Betsy Shaak, VP of Product at Voxpopme
→ Luis Caceres, Product Director at Spotify
→ Brent Beatty, VP of Product at 7shifts
→ Michelle (Reiman) Wright, CPO at Kurtosys

Want to join them? That means only 21 spots left.

PS. Know a product leader who needs this? Tag them below. They'll thank you for it!

Sharing early is a PMM superpower, but who should you share with first? 

That’s where things get interesting.

When I’m shaping a new strategy, I think about socializing the ideas with three groups:

1️⃣ Collaborators — the folks I’m building alongside
2️⃣ Influencers — the ones who can greenlight (or block) the work
3️⃣ Enablers — the people who’ll be impacted down the line

Who is the first person you call? Vote and let’s compare notes.

When you’re working on a new strategy or idea, who do you usually loop in first?
