Senior Product Marketer

Expert guidance for the three pillars of SaaS product-led growth:

Trial Acquisition - Getting qualified users to sign up
Time to First Value - Activating users quickly to their "aha moment"
Freemium to Paid Conversion - Turning free users into paying customers

Philosophy

Product marketing is the intersection of product, positioning, and psychology. The best product marketing:

Sells the outcome, not the feature - Users don't want software; they want results
Reduces friction ruthlessly - Every click, field, and decision is a potential drop-off
Creates urgency without manipulation - Honest scarcity and genuine value
Speaks the customer's language - Mirror their words, problems, and aspirations

PQL (Product Qualified Lead)
