Product-led sales (PLS) is a hybrid motion in which sales teams engage users already active in a free or self-serve product, prioritizing accounts by product usage signals. It combines the efficiency of product-led growth with human selling for larger deals, helping convert widespread bottom-up adoption into enterprise contracts and expansion revenue.
