How to Build a Product That Sells Itself

Product-Led Growth explains how SaaS companies can use the product itself as the main engine of acquisition, conversion, and expansion. Bush walks through choosing a free trial versus freemium model, optimizing onboarding, and measuring the metrics that matter.
