GTM motion · Product-led & free trial

Reach evaluators before they start someone else's free trial.

In a product-led motion the decision is made before anyone talks to sales. The people weighing your category are on our sites, choosing which product to try.

How it works

How it fits a product-led motion.

  1. 1
    Evaluators research on our sites

    Before anyone starts a trial they read about the category and weigh options. That happens on properties we own.

  2. 2
    Your content meets them there

    Your guide or offer reaches those readers while they are choosing which product to try. Each response is a named, opted-in lead.

  3. 3
    You match them to signups

    Your team matches in-market people against your free users by work email or company, and sends sales-assist where a deal is forming.

Today vs with NorthRadar

What you have now, and what you get.

✕TodayBought lists and inferred intent
  • ✕Waiting for evaluators to find your signup page
  • ✕Thousands of free accounts and no way to rank them
  • ✕Sales-assist spread thin across everyone
✓With NorthRadarRecorded on properties we own
  • ✓Reach while the trial decision is being made
  • ✓In-market people to match against your signup base
  • ✓Sales time spent where a company is actively buying
What changes

Three things you get that a rented list cannot give you.

01

Be in the evaluation

Your content reaches readers while they are deciding which products to try, when a signup is one click away.

02

Know which accounts are serious

Match in-market people against your signups to see which free accounts belong to a company that is actively buying.

03

Hand sales the right ones

Those matches go to the team as named people with stage, so sales-assist time goes where a deal is forming.

Proof

Judged on the pipeline, not the deck.

Pipeline over ad spend, as reported by each client. These four programs returned between 4x and 9x their cost in pipeline.

Before the call

The ones you were going to ask.

We do not gate content. Does this still work?

Yes. The lead comes from the reader opting in on our page, so your own site and signup flow stay as they are.

Can you tell us which of our free users are in market?

We can deliver the in-market people in your category; your team matches them against signups by work email or company. We do not see your user base.

Is this only for self-serve products?

No. It suits any motion where buyers evaluate before they speak to sales.
