The Secret PM Handbook

(This is the second post in my series about using product knowledge to create better sales enablement and jumpstart a repeatable sales process. Read the first post, on the overall topic.). “I Need Better Leads!” Does your salesforce complain “We don’t get enough leads from Marketing, and the leads we get aren’t any good?”. I’ve heard this a lot from sales teams.

A few years ago I came out of a meeting with my product manager where we talked about the next feature we should build. At the time there was a lot of hype around Foursquare-like location sharing apps. We worked for a social network so we had to build something like that as well. Needless to say, we didn’t have a clear product strategy. To take my mind off things I opened my RSS reader and a post called “ Product strategy means saying no ” caught my eye.

The Product Leadership Conundrum. As the person in charge of a product, you are responsible for achieving product success. But you can’t accomplish it on your own and rely on the development team and stakeholders. Their contributions are vital to design, implement, provide, and support a successful product. At the same time, you can’t tell the individuals what to do or assign tasks to them, and you are typically not in a position to offer incentives, like a bonus or pay rise.

In many organizations, conflict is part and parcel of the culture — some conflict can be constructive, some destructive, but most of it can just be downright annoying. And, because we often sit right in the middle of all of the random agendas, battles of ego, and emotional storms that can rage throughout the company, […].

I think of high-performing teams like a personal best on a run: they don’t happen overnight or by accident, but they’re worth it. As product managers, we’re often on point for building team culture. And we really feel the benefit of it when teams are working well together: a team that can move fast, understand each other and make effective decisions is a team that ships and iterates faster than a team full of people who struggle to understand each other or the outcomes they’re trying to reach.

Until relatively recently, salespeople were not too enthusiastic about the idea of using live chat for sales. We saw it as taking away our power to prioritize our time for leads and instead gave that power to whoever happens to be online at that moment. But by using live chat to capture and convert leads, that attitude has begun to change rapidly. Traditional sales teams were often taught to pre-qualify their leads before even talking to them.

I wish everyone made decisions rationally. OK, I’d be happy if I could make decisions rationally. Last night while having dinner with my wife I caught myself being irrational … again. We went to our local sports bar at halftime of the Super Bowl. This is a place we eat all the time. The prices are reasonable enough that I just order what I want, without regard to price.

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.

You are cognitively intact so maybe you can still remember facts like the capital of the UK or your address but not your story or not even what happened two seconds ago. Being limited to the present makes people unviable.
