Customer acquisition and above all, the right customer conversion that can ease the retention.

"Over the last few years, product-led growth has received a lot of attention," to be sure. Product-led growth and growth hacking appear to be everywhere these days, almost to the point of becoming buzzwords. I was wondering how you would define PLG. And it's most likely just a b2b saas thing, right? You also mentioned that PLG isn't the best market entry strategy for you. Could you explain why this is so? thanks!

Always go product-first, never sales-first, marketing-first, or founder-first. The product itself has the power to make or break you. Some established companies pay millions of dollars each year just to maintain their inefficiencies - because they are not product led. The main issue with marketing, sales, or founders (top-down approaches) is that they tend to build features based on what they believe is required. For example, a sales team may promise features to attract clients, resulting in a Frankenstein product after a few feature requests. To make these difficult decisions and actually drive the product forward, product teams require leadership and authority.

Customer conversion / acquisition is definitely the hardest battle. The others don't really come into play if you can't overcome the first.
