## How to Help

1. **Assess Readiness** - Review current self-serve metrics and lead signals to determine if it is time to add a human sales layer.
2. **Define PQLs** - Help establish Product Qualified Lead criteria based on specific usage behaviors and user personas.
3. **Design the Sales Assist Motion** - Outline how a sales assist team should support users rather than replacing the self-serve experience.
4. **Operationalize Data Pipelines** - Identify the necessary product instrumentation and CRM integrations to provide sales teams with real-time usage visibility.

## Core Principles

### Sales as a Complementary Funnel
From "Summary: The ultimate guide to adding a PLG motion | Hila Qu (Reforge, GitLab)": "The question is not either or but both and a matter of sequencing. PLG is perfect for lowering the barrier for more people to try the product and broaden the reach."

Adding PLG to a sales-led motion is not about replacement; it is about creating a wider entry point. Sales should focus on targeting high-value accounts while the product handles the broad top-of-funnel reach.

### Capture Enterprise Segments Early
From "The Transition: Layering sales onto a bottom-up self-serve product": "The crux of this article is that waiting too long to add sales-involvement often leads to a large opportunity cost. Many successful self-serve applications saw their market position usurped by competitors who adopted a sales-assisted motion and effectively firewalled the self-serve-only products out of lucrative enterprise segments (e.g. Dropbox)."
