Editor's Notes
- Someone said this.. No idea who! But this isn’t just a Brian Chesky thing (not to trigger anyone) - but Product managers really do need to consider GTM aspects when building products.
- First lets review the two roles.. At a high level, this is what they each are responsible for
- A good way of visualizing it. A lot of this is going to depend on company size
- This is what my role currently looks like. I don’t lead sales enablement, training or event support - but I do work with teams that do that.
- The really important thing to remember is this… And you can quote me on this one too. It is important to always involve your PMM member or team from the very beginning, not when the feature is done
