What To Do When You’re New to Product Marketing | Adoption Boosting | Unstuck Yourself

🧒 When You’re New to Product Marketing… 🧒

Maggie Bean Product Marketing

Using marketing jargon in your sales enablement collateral is a big no-no. It’s the kind of mistake you make when you’re new to product marketing. 

For Validity’s Maggie Bean there’s one concept she keeps top of mind to avoid this cardinal sin of PMMs and compete pros: Empathy. 

“You need to put yourself in their point of view of how they’re doing their work. Make one-on-one connections and forge those relationships individually.

Prioritize one-on-one time with each of your sellers — or as many as possible —and ask the questions that’ll help you better understand their needs.

  • What’s working?
  • What’s not working?
  • What do you need?
  • How can I help?

The more you understand the pains and needs of your end-users, the better you’re able to enable them.

Connect with as many as you can individually, and reflect on the requirements and challenges of their job.

You’ll be a better product marketer for it.

Learn more about why Maggie thinks empathy is important on the most recent episode of the Competitive Enablement Show
