## Resource

Episode 119 explores a surprising bottleneck in product-led growth: the enterprise security questionnaire. Lucas and Luna break down how PLG companies like Vanta and Drata have turned self-serve compliance documentation into a competitive advantage, reducing sales cycles from weeks to days. They discuss the specific playbook of offering pre-filled SOC 2 reports, buyer's security templates, and automated evidence collection that lets prospects self-serve their way through procurement. The conversation drills into one concrete example: how a SaaS company cut its time-to-close by 40% by embedding a dynamic security questionnaire portal directly into its product trial. Expect real numbers, a critical look at the limits of automation, and a practical takeaway for any PLG operator. #PLG #ProductLedGrowth #EnterpriseSales #SecurityQuestionnaires #SOC2 #ComplianceAutomation #Vanta #Drata #SelfServe #SaaS #SalesCycle #Procurement #BusinessToBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Technology #SaaSRevenue #TrustAndSafety Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
