4 million daily active users in just 4 years!*

No question: Slack is the fastest growing SaaS company of all time.

And they accomplished that without a million-dollar marketing plan, fancy email strategy, or outbound sales team.

Heck, it wasn’t until recently that Slack hired salespeople, and not until they were a billion-dollar company that they brought on a CMO.

Most of their initial growth was thanks to word-of-mouth marketing, which remains their highest priority to this day.

Sumo.com’s study breaks down how to tap into your networks and generate buzz around your product with a four-step launch formula. (Even without founder Stewart Butterfield’s contact list.)
