Case Study: CircleCI builds a product-led sales motion with Pitch

CircleCI boosts free-to-paid conversions with Pitch, where sales can drive up to 25%

The customer, CircleCI, faced the challenge of converting its product-led growth signups into meaningful, recurring revenue. To address this, they needed to build a sales team that could effectively work within their product-led funnel and culture, navigating internal procurement and onboarding hurdles for users. The vendor, Pitch, provided insights through its executive's experience.

The solution implemented by Pitch involved a data-driven strategy for building a product-led sales team. This included knowing when to hire based on a clear sales model, hiring reps with strong discovery skills, and using product usage and firmographic data to triage high-potential leads. Pitch also emphasized creating flexible sales enablement tools. This approach proved highly effective, with sales-led conversions accounting for as much as 25% of free-to-paid conversions, significantly complementing the product-led motion.
