Product led growth isn’t about generating more leads - it’s about deciding who deserves a conversation. In this episode, we unpack how Navan approaches lifetime value optimization, balances CAC to LTV, and uses product qualified leads to increase sales efficiency while scaling sales teams intelligently. The real challenge in modern B2B selling isn’t demand - it’s focus.
