## Resource

Episode 58 of Product-Led Growth with Fexingo explores a critical but often overlooked layer: self-serve customer success. Lucas and Luna discuss how PLG companies like Canva and Calendly embed automated success loops—health scoring, in-app guidance, and proactive outreach—to drive retention without a human CSM. They unpack the concept of 'digital success' at scale, using specific examples like session replays and triggered emails. The hosts also debate where the line blurs between customer success and product engagement, and why the best self-serve success feels invisible. A must-listen for operators building retention into the product itself. #ProductLedGrowth #SelfServeCS #CustomerSuccess #DigitalSuccess #PLGStrategy #InAppGuidance #UserRetention #HealthScore #Canva #Calendly #SaaS #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Episode58 #ProductEngagement #GrowthLoop Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
