The transition from product-led growth (PLG) to an enterprise sales motion is a strategic shift that many SaaS companies are making in order to accelerate growth and enhance profitability. 

This transition is driven by a variety of factors, including the need to scale, reach new markets, and meet the evolving needs of customers.
