It focuses on expanding relationships with existing customers rather than acquiring new customers.</p><p>Customer-led growth shifts the focus from <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/product-led-vs-sales-led-vs-marketing-led-vs-customer-led-whats-the-difference/">sales-led or product-led growth</a> to customer-facing. Growth comes from better understanding and serving your current customers. Their insights uncover new opportunities to <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/customer-value-realization-if-you-build-it-they-will-come/">provide more value</a>, increase engagement, and earn trust.</p><p><a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/email/rethink/2023/08/2023-08-16c.html">Research</a> shows that CLG boosts revenue growth, customer satisfaction, and retention. It creates a growth engine fueled by loyal, happy customers.

In a business that adopts this growth strategy, <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/what-is-customer-success/">customer success</a> tends to play second fiddle. </p><p>Driving revenue growth through sales is concerned with one thing: maximizing the number of new deals. Historically, this has worked almost without a hiccup. But the subscription model has completely flipped the lid on this traditional approach to business. In SaaS products, there’s been a shift in the power balance from the company to the customer.</p><p><strong>Rebecca Fenlon, Head of Customer Success Management</strong> at <strong>eArcu</strong>, puts this brilliantly:</p><p>“Back in the day, when you bought software, you had a real heavy upfront investment – people, data centers, etc. When we removed that, we removed ‘customer stickiness’ because it's a hell of a lot easier for customers to move providers or buy new software. To basically change their whole approach.</p><blockquote>“This has meant suddenly we have to work a hell of a lot harder to retain those clients. It's from that power shift that really the importance of CS comes in, and ultimately, CS can make or break your company.”</blockquote><p>Nowadays, retention is king. And customer acquisition? Well, it’s a far more expensive endeavor. </p><p>But some champions of sales-led growth argue it is, in fact, customer-centric. </p><p>According to these advocates, direct customer interactions can provide sales teams with valuable insights into their customers’ needs and pain points. No doubt about it: this is valuable customer intel. </p><p>The white-glove approach of tailoring solutions to address specific issues is absolutely customer-centric. Customization based on <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/your-go-to-guide-on-how-to-obtain-customer-feedback/">feedback</a> is key. </p><p>However, there are still differences between sales-led and customer-led growth:</p><ul><li>CLG sees the full customer journey, while sales-led growth revolves around transactions.</li><li>CLG compiles insights from the entire org (support, sales, success, and product) for a 360-degree view of the customer.</li><li>CLG incentives reward long-term value, not quick deal wins like sales-led growth.</li><li>Sales have access to critical customer touchpoints, but CLG weaves together the mosaic of insights across the customer lifecycle.</li></ul><p>This panoramic perspective allows companies driven by customer-led growth to serve their customers more holistically to drive growth.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-bookmark-card"><a class="kg-bookmark-container" href="https://www.productledalliance.com/what-is-product-led-growth/"><div class="kg-bookmark-content"><div class="kg-bookmark-title">What is product-led growth?</div><div class="kg-bookmark-description">Product-led growth is when a product’s grown through acquiring, engaging and retaining customers due to the quality of the product.</div><div class="kg-bookmark-metadata"><img class="kg-bookmark-icon" src="https://www.productledalliance.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2020/03/logomark_pla_color_square_2.png" alt=""><span class="kg-bookmark-author">Product-Led Alliance | Product-Led Growth</span><span class="kg-bookmark-publisher">Rebecca Madro</span></div></div><div class="kg-bookmark-thumbnail"><img src="https://www.productledalliance.com/content/images/2023/08/PLA_meta_PLA-Growth.png" alt="" onerror="this.style.display = 'none'"></div></a></figure><h3 id="product-led-growth">Product-led growth</h3><p>Product-led growth (PLG) is a different beast entirely. PLG relies on the product itself being the primary driver of user acquisition, conversion, and expansion. When you have a wicked product to steer the ship, the rest will fall into place.</p><p>Here’s what the experts at <a href="https://www.productledalliance.com/">Product-Led Alliance</a> had to say:</p><blockquote>“At the core of PLG is your product. It's not just a thing you're selling; it's the superstar of the show. The product must be so compelling that users can't resist exploring its features and benefits. It's like designing a product that's so irresistibly delicious that people can't stop themselves from taking another bite.”</blockquote><p>But can product-led growth be customer-centric? Can it be more customer-centric than CLG? It’s an interesting question.</p><p>Product-led growth can certainly have customer-centric elements in some ways. According to <a href="https://www.productledalliance.com/what-is-product-led-growth/">Product-Led Alliance</a>:</p><blockquote>“At the heart of PLG lies a deep commitment to understanding and catering to your customers' needs. By letting your product take the lead, you're sending a strong message that you value your users' experiences. This customer-centric approach fosters trust, builds brand loyalty, and turns your users into advocates. </blockquote><blockquote>"When customers feel empowered and valued, they're more likely to stick around for the long haul.”</blockquote><p>Sure, well-designed products that are easy and intuitive to use do cater to user needs and experience. This builds the trust and loyalty mentioned by Product-Led Alliance. </p><p><a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/customer-onboarding/" rel="noreferrer">Onboarding</a> and in-app messaging that clicks with how real customers actually use the product? Now that's talking their language! </p><p>When you tailor those experiences based on usage patterns, it smoothes the journey for each user. Users who adopt features faster will stick around longer.</p><p>And continuously improving based on telemetry data and user feedback? That's walking in customers' shoes. You feel their pain points with each click, tap, and support call. Then you act on what customers need – not what you assume. This level of customer focus will earn you beaucoup amounts of trust and loyalty.</p><p>So, while product-led growth puts the product, service, or app first, it can be user-centric, too. However, customer-led strategies go deeper by wrapping personalized support and success around the product experience. They complement usage data with a human touch.</p><p>However, there are many advantages of customer-led growth, specifically how it provides a holistic view of the customer. </p><p>Let’s look at the topline information. Customer-led growth:</p><ul><li>Incorporates insights beyond just product usage data – like customer service interactions, feedback surveys, user interviews, etc. </li><li>Focuses on the entire customer journey, not just the product experience.</li><li>Allows customization and <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/balance-between-tech-and-human-touch-during-onboarding/">human touch</a> based on insights. </li><li>Concentrates on growing through account expansion, <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/10-upselling-best-practices-every-csm-needs-to-know/">cross-selling</a>, and <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/a-practical-guide-to-customer-renewals-mel-english-catalyst/">renewal</a>. </li></ul><p>Product-led growth can categorically have customer-centric elements, but customer-led growth takes a broader approach to understanding and engaging users across touchpoints throughout their lifecycle with the company.</p><p>Compared to both of these other strategic approaches, CLG puts the customer’s needs and insights first. It nurtures relationships to uncover expansion opportunities. The goal is growing through customers, not just acquiring new ones.</p>  <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/signup/"> <img src="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/content/images/size/w1000/2022/07/CSC-membership-ad-1.jpeg"> </a>  <h2 id="why-is-customer-led-growth-so-effective">Why is customer-led growth so effective?</h2><p>You might be wondering, if sales or product-led growth works, why rock the boat?</p><p>Here's the thing: customer-led growth moves the needle on what matters most.</p><h3 id="cost-saver">Cost saver</h3><p>For starters, it costs way less to retain and expand existing customers than to hunt new ones. We're talking <em>five times</em> lower on average. Boosting retention by just 5% can spike profits by roughly 25-95%. </p><p>Now, that's what we call leverage.</p><h3 id="tune-into-your-customers-needs">Tune into your customers needs </h3><p>Then, there's the lifetime value multiplier. Meeting customer needs boosts satisfaction, loyalty, and lifetime value. When you take the time to truly understand your customers' problems, goals, and desires, you can tailor experiences that delight them.</p><p>This level of personalization and commitment to your customer’s success ramps up satisfaction. Happy customers who feel understood and valued are far more loyal; they tend to buy more over time and refer new business.</p><h3 id="happy-customers-become-advocates">Happy customers become advocates</h3><p>And that brings us to advocacy. Customer-led growth converts happy users into voluntary brand evangelists.

As the main point of contact, you are the face of the company and everything you do, whether it's how you deal with them, respond to their queries or how available you are to assist, reflects the values and principles of the business.” </blockquote><h2 id="how-to-implement-a-customer-led-growth-mindset">How to implement a customer-led growth mindset</h2><p>To be clear, embracing customer-led growth across your whole company isn’t something that’ll happen overnight. </p><p>Let’s just leave that as a disclaimer. If your company is particularly sales-focused and preoccupied with closing deal after deal, without much effort concerted on the customer’s own success, this will require a pretty big shift in mentality. To implement CLG, your organization needs to start thinking in a customer-centric way. </p><p>However, customer-led initiatives can be implemented on an individual level; you can be customer-led on a day-to-day basis without waiting for your entire company to catch up,</p><p>Here are six key ways to put customers first and get the wheels of the good ship CLG in motion:</p><h3 id="focus-on-customer-success-outcomes">Focus on customer success outcomes</h3><p>In order to drive growth with customer-centricity, you’ll want to ensure your customers are satisfied with your product and are likely to keep subscribing. </p><p>You need to readjust your mindset to ask why the customer bought from you in the first place. </p><p>Shifting to a customer-centric mindset isn’t an impenetrable challenge. It’s something that can be achieved with baby steps. </p><p>According to <strong>Dutta Satadip</strong>, <strong>Chief Customer Officer</strong> at <strong>ActiveCampaign</strong>:</p><blockquote>“Really dig into the customer's motivations, context, and definition of success. Use discovery-focused conversations to re-align your product's capabilities with their goals and path to achieving value.</blockquote><blockquote>“The key is reducing time to value. If the customer leaves each interaction having accomplished something useful with your product, their engagement increases over time.</blockquote><blockquote>“Quick value wins rebuild trust and enthusiasm.

It weaves together insights across touchpoints for a 360-degree customer perspective.</li><li>Is effective because it boosts retention, which is cheaper than acquisition. It increases customer lifetime value through better satisfaction and loyalty. Happy customers also become advocates and referrals.</li><li>Involves prioritizing <a href="https://www.customersuccesscollective.com/customer-success-metrics/" rel="noreferrer">customer success metrics</a> like renewals and satisfaction. It means investing in understanding the full customer experience to address pain points. Acting on customer feedback and building engagement and relationships are key.</li></ul><p>The core premise is that sustainable growth comes from better serving existing customers, not just acquiring new ones. Customer-led growth turns customers into partners in growth by making their needs and insights central to business strategy.</p>  </div> <div class="right-sidebar"> <div class="sticky-container"> <div class="subscribe-container"> <img class="insider-logo" src="/assets/img/insider-subscribe-now-free-csc.svg"/> <img class="success-insider-logo" src="/assets/img/Star.svg"/> <p class="title">Customer success collective insider</p> <p class="success-title">Thank you for subscribing</p> <p class="description">Level up your customer success collective career & network with customer success collective experts.</p> <p class="success-description">An email has been successfully sent to confirm your subscription.</p> <form data-members-form="subscribe"> <input data-members-label type="hidden" value="Early Adopters" /> <input placeholder="Your email address" data-members-email type="email" required="true"/> <button type="submit">Subscribe</button> <p class="error-message">Ops!
