There are three product-led growth pillars you can lean on:<h3>1. Your In-Product Data</h3><a href="https://www.gainsight.com/guides/the-essential-guide-to-product-analytics/" dir="ltr">In-product data</a> reveals how users and potential customers are interacting with your product. Not only does this window into the user experience help you see upsell opportunities, but it also gives you a firm set of figures to back your decisions.When it comes time to nail down priorities for your go-to-market strategy, in-product data unveils how moves will affect the user’s experience.

One of the best ways to set up those moves is to construct an engagement machine within your product. As a product leader, you can start by embedding <a href="https://www.gainsight.com/blog/the-in-app-engagement-starter-kit/#:~:text=In%2Dapp%20engagements%20are%20customer,new%20feature%20announcements%2C%20and%20surveys." dir="ltr">in-app engagements</a> and guides into your product experience. Here’s an example of how this type of proactive strategy looks:Imagine you’ve looked at in-product data and spotted a sticky feature that users love. However, through <a href="https://support.gainsight.com/PX/Analytics/Path_Analysis/01Path_Analyzer" dir="ltr">path analysis</a>, you also see that new users aren’t touching that sticky feature, even while advanced users flock to it. This may indicate that new users don’t have enough information about that feature from the get-go. By dropping in-app guides at strategic points in the user’s journey, you could educate new users, lift engagement, and increase adoption.At the same time, by embedding <a href="https://www.gainsight.com/blog/how-to-close-the-loop-with-customer-feedback/" dir="ltr">customer feedback loops</a> into your product experience, you ensure you’re capturing the user’s experience as you launch and improve features. These loops pump feedback to your team, which you can use to enhance the product. Then you can test the next batch of improvements. This feedback engine is fueled by the user experience and keeps driving deeper and deeper engagement.<h3>3. Your Experimentation Engine</h3>In the modern SaaS world, you need to quickly improve your product and deliver an experience that users want. That’s why automated experimentation sits firmly as the cornerstone of any modern successful go-to-market strategy.However, building an experimentation engine means more than just conducting A/B testing. Instead, your team needs to set up automated experimentation at a high level. For instance, if you decide to improve onboarding, you may choose to create three separate onboarding experiences for three separate customer cohorts. From there, you could run real-time tests on every new sign-up and determine what the most thorough route to onboarding really is.This same approach to testing and experimentation can improve user experiences at every stage—be it onboarding, adoption, retention, growth, or any other piece of your go-to-market strategy.<h2>Piece it all together with in-product analytics.</h2>The best product-led go-to-market strategies feed off of in-depth data.
