SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Founders and GTM leaders struggle to choose between product-led growth, sales-led, or hybrid motions, and often misalign pricing, onboarding, and sales hiring with their actual product complexity and deal size. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Motion Selection Matrix: Recommends pure PLG, PLG+sales hybrid, sales-assisted PLG, or sales-led based on ACV and product complexity, with a 10-signal scoring rubric. - TTFV Optimization: Provides time-to-first-value benchmarks by product type and a five-step process (map, eliminate, preload, guide, measure) to reduce activation friction. - Value-Before-Purchase Design: Ranks tactics like free audits, interactive demos, sandboxes, and templates by conversion lift. - Use Case: A seed-stage SaaS founder with a $3K ACV workflow tool asks whether to hire sales; the skill recommends a hybrid motion, defines PQL triggers, and sets TTFV and CAC payback targets. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to recommend a sales motion for your product by sharing your ACV, product complexity, target buyer, and current conversion metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions about sales-motion-design

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between PLG and sales-led for my SaaS product?▼

Choose based on price and complexity: ACV under $1K with a simple product fits pure PLG, while ACV above $50K or multi-stakeholder deals fit sales-led. Score ten signals like self-evaluation ability and TTFV under 15 minutes; 7+ PLG signals means pure PLG, 4-6 means hybrid.

What is a good time-to-first-value benchmark for my product?▼

TTFV targets vary by product type: API and developer tools should deliver value in under 5 minutes, workflow tools under 15 minutes, analytics under 30 minutes, AI agents under 1 hour, and enterprise platforms under 1 day. Every extra minute increases churn probability.

Should I use freemium or a free trial for my product?▼

Use freemium when you have viral effects, low marginal cost per user, and natural upgrade triggers. Use a free trial when value is obvious quickly, marginal costs are high, or enterprise buyers expect trials. A reverse trial combines both by starting with full access then dropping to a free tier.

When should a PLG company hire its first salesperson?▼

Add sales only when you see demand signals: free users requesting enterprise features, 10+ users from the same company domain, deals stalling at procurement, or deal sizes exceeding $5K ACV. The first hire should be a product-savvy AE, not a traditional cold-outbound seller.

Why do most AI SDR and agent-led sales deployments fail?▼

About 85% of agent-led deployments fail within six months due to generic AI copy, no human review layer, and poor ICP targeting. What works is AI handling research and first drafts with human review before sending, starting at low-risk Tier 1 use cases.

What conversion rate should I expect from PQLs versus MQLs?▼

PQLs convert to paid at 25-30% on average, roughly 3-5x better than MQLs which convert at 5-10%. PQL conversion rises with deal size, reaching about 39% for $5-10K ACV products, making PQL scoring a priority for hybrid motions.
