This experience has given me a deep understanding of what differentiates an amazing product manager from an average one.

We have become a culture that celebrates successful entrepreneurs like rockstars. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos have become icons in our society. There is a feeling that working on a startup is so much cooler than working in a large established company. Steve Jobs famously remarked that, “It is more fun to be a pirate than to join the Navy”.

You know (or you’re in the process of learning) how to identify opportunities , consider different solutions, and identify and test your assumptions. And if you’re working within the continuous discovery framework, there’s a good chance you’re already using the opportunity solution tree to record and track many of these activities.

Does your product positioning need to be different than your sales narratives? The short and simple answer is no, but it’s highly dependent on how your product positioning is constructed. As a former product marketing manager, I know this all too well and was guilty in the first degree! We tend to overthink our messaging, try to say too much, try too hard to be eloquent with our words and if there aren’t a lot of superlatives and buzzwords, we feel like we’ve failed.

In March, LinkedIn launched an AI assisted growth loop. Fareed Mosavat and I recorded a convo where we broke it down step by step. We were shocked when we looked up the stats. From March to June it went from generating 0 to 1M uniques per month according to Ahrefs and is on one of the steepest growth curves we’ve ever seen for a content loop. ?️ Note: Fareed and I are thinking about turning this type of convo into a podcast.
