As a student of engineering you’re incentivised to write a lot and to read a lot. You’re expected to solve many well understood, discreet, simple problems, on paper, on sunny afternoons in late May and early June. This kind of learning has its place – it encourages discipline of thought and allows you to develop certain important muscles that will be useful for later – but to be successful as product engineer , you’ll also need to master a bunch of different skills.

When the sales team has the right product knowledge, they will be much more successful. Which means they sell a lot more of your product. This starts from the first call with the prospect. If a sales person asks the wrong questions during that first call…. … then even a good prospect can turn into total loss. But, ask the right questions …. … and the chances of closing them go way up!

I’d been looking forward to the conversation; we’d convinced a few similar firms to partner with us recently and I was hungry for some momentum. When the call kicked off, I fully expected it would be another win. But… nope.

A reader asked, “Why isn’t pricing more valued in companies?” What a fabulous question. Although I haven’t seen the research, my experience leads me to believe there are three reasons, all huge. First, many companies don’t know the power of pricing. Alternatively, they don’t know that pricing can have a large positive impact on their profitability.

To many, a familiar saying on the consumer mindset is wanting products to be “better, cheaper and faster”. A colleague joked that in reality, one can probably choose two out of the three most of the time. Consumers today want to make good decisions fast and this means information has to be not only relevant but timely as well. Businesses that can offer a concoction of both elements at scale win.

Product managers must listen with empathy – just how do we do it? Listening occurs at several levels. For most of us, empathy doesn’t come naturally. With all that we need to get done, we are in a hurry to get just the information needed, share only what others need to know, and move on.
