An important rule I teach in the Price course is that confused buyers don’t buy. If you have a complex price list, then this is your buyer’s experience. He has a 30-minute break betwee n meetings and picks up your price list to figure out what the company needs. He spends the entire time trying to determine which parts go with which other parts, what options he needs and why one option is better or more expensive than another option.

It has been a while since the term Product Leadership has gained widespread adoption in blogs, articles and even books. It represents the intersection between Product Management and Leadership; which, in my point of view, have a lot to do with each other. Product Leadership also means a new way of responding to our organisations challenges, much more suited to the digital and transforming era that we live in.

Adding live chat to your funnel is a great way of generating more sales and targeting specific leads in a more effective way, ensuring the best experience possible for all involved. When it comes to conversing with leads over live chat, it is a very different experience compared to talking in person or even on the phone. No wonder many reps are daunted by the thought of putting live chat on their website.

In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.

Countless companies spend time and money investing in building a set of personas, but end up with nothing more than posters in a hallway ignored by most of the organization. As a result, many modern product teams have decided to abandon personas altogether and adopt practices like user scenarios, user stories, or the “Jobs to be Done” framework instead.
