In this episode of Rocketship.FM, world-renowned positioning and marketing expert April Dunford joins us to share her insights on crafting sales pitches that close deals and win markets. Drawing from her book Sales Pitch, April dives into the art of creating a compelling narrative that helps your customers confidently choose your product over competitors—and the dreaded "do nothing." In this recording of her keynote talk from INDUSTRY: The Product Conference in 2023, April breaks down her proven step-by-step framework for building a pitch that communicates your differentiated value, positions your product as the clear solution, and guides prospects through the buying journey. From the role of discovery and demos to understanding why “do nothing” is your fiercest competitor, she covers everything you need to transform your pitch into a powerful storytelling tool. Whether you're an entrepreneur, marketer, or sales leader, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you stand out in any crowded market.

In dieser Folge geht es um die Herausforderungen und Chancen des Produktmanagements in regulierten Branchen. Tim spricht heute mit Deniz Dogan, Product Management Consultant bei den Product People, über die spezifischen Anforderungen, die auf Product Owner in regulierten Umfeldern zukommen. Regulierung stellt natürlich häufig eine Hürde dar, weil sie viele Freiheiten während der Produktentwicklung einschränkt. Doch dies sollte nicht nur als Beschränkung gesehen werden. Vielmehr bietet die Gesetzeslage oft auch Spielraum, wie Regelungen umgesetzt werden, was Raum für kreative Lösungen schafft. Ein Beispiel in dieser Folge ist der Digital Services Act (DSA), bei dem zwar Vorgaben zu Transparenz und Meldemöglichkeiten erfüllt werden müssen, aber nicht festgelegt ist, wie dies genau zu geschehen hat. Hier zum Beispiel hat Deniz Dogan durch sorgfältige Analyse der Vorgaben und enge Zusammenarbeit mit dem Compliance-Team innovative Ansätze gefunden, um Anforderungen effizient zu erfüllen, ohne unnötigen Aufwand zu erzeugen. Die enge Zusammenarbeit mit Compliance-Teams ist besonders wichtig, um das Produktmanagement in regulierten Branchen zu erleichtern. Deniz betont in dieser Folge, wie wichtig es ist, frühzeitig und proaktiv den Dialog mit diesen Abteilungen zu suchen. Oft wird aus Unsicherheit lieber ein konservativer Ansatz gewählt, der jedoch nicht immer nötig ist. Indem Product Owner die gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen genau verstehen und kritisch hinterfragen, können sie unnötige Aufwände vermeiden und gleichzeitig rechtskonform bleiben. So wird aus einem vermeintlichen Hindernis eine Gelegenheit für Produktverbesserungen und damit eine echte Chance. Besonders in regulierten Branchen zeigt sich zudem, dass Vorschriften oft nicht eindeutig sind, was Raum für Interpretation lässt. Dies führt zu Ambiguität, die zwar zusätzliche Komplexität schafft, aber auch Gestaltungsspielräume eröffnet. Dies bietet eine Chance, Wettbewerbsvorteile zu erzielen, indem Unternehmen die Anforderungen nicht nur erfüllen, sondern die Art wie sie die Erfüllung dieser Regulation meistern zu einem Selling Point machen. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist die Barrierefreiheit, bei der sich Unternehmen durch besonders proaktive Maßnahmen im Markt differenzieren können. Letztlich kommt es darauf an, als Product Owner nicht nur die Vorschriften zu erfüllen, sondern den Mehrwert darin zu erkennen, wie ein Produkt dadurch besser und sicherer gestaltet werden kann. Wer bereit ist, die Regeln genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen und in den Dialog mit den richtigen Stakeholdern zu gehen, kann auch in streng regulierten Märkten innovativ agieren und sich einen Vorsprung verschaffen. Im Produktmanagement in regulierten Branchen geht es also nicht nur darum, sich an Gesetze zu halten, sondern diese auch als Chance zu nutzen, Produkte nachhaltig besser zu machen. Diese früheren Folgen werden in dieser Episode referenziert: - Guerilla Discovery - wenn der Kontext Product Discovery nicht aktiv unterstützt - Barrierefreiheit von digitalen Produkten - Umgang mit schwierigen Stakeholdern Wer weitere Fragen an Deniz hat oder mit ihm in Kontakt treten möchte, erreicht ihn am Besten über sein LinkedIn-Profil oder über die Product People (getproductpeople.com). Von Deniz Dogan gibt es zudem auch ein englisches Webinar der Product People auf YouTube zum Thema ”Product Management in regulated industries: Navigating the Digital Service Act”. Wir hoffen, dass du einige neue Impulse zum Thema reguliertes Umfeld aus den Erfahrungen von Deniz Dogan ableiten konntest. Bist du selber vielleicht auch im Produktmanagement und von Regulation betroffen?

“You're only as good as your last delivery”. This phrase may apply best to ambitious UberEats drivers, but when it comes to providing non-food based services, it also neatly fits in the DevRel and Product Managing world. We're joined once again by Jock Busuttil, for an update on his work at Product People, and to gain his thoughts on the wider product managing space (and why Product Management is starting to look more and more like product marketing). The level of crossover between DevRel and Product Management means that we not only share our victories, but also our struggles, and Jock speaks to one of the most common problems he's seen: people struggling and sometimes entirely failing to communicate their worth to those at the top. Another issue - adaptability. Context is absolutely everything, and a solution that might have worked flawlessly for one client might be devastating to another. Knowing when to make adjustments and put the “rulebook” aside is a key skill, and one that the new influx of applicants to project management roles would do well to remember. It was great to catch up with Jockbon this episode, and hear what he's been up to. We hope you enjoy it!

My guest today is one of my favorite product people out there: Petra WillePetra is the author of one the best books for product leaders you can find "Strong Product People", she's the founder of an amazing product conference "Product at Heart", and one of the few product coaches featured in Marty Cagan's new book Transformed.Petra is such a great human being, and I am a big fan of her work.We covered a lot and, even though I am clearly biased, every product leader and manager should listen to this.We discussed:* Common struggles of product leaders and how to address them* Why many product leaders struggle with time management and understanding their role* Why product leaders need a framework tailored to their context and that works for them, to develop their people* What you need to know to get started with developing strong product people* The benefits of coaching and tools product leaders can use to help their people grow* Why reading good books and contextualizing their lessons is important* Navigating the "Instagramification" of the product industry (as John Cutler is putting it)* Building strong Communities of Practice and their benefitsWe even have a little surprise for you: we did some role-playing of a coaching conversation, so you can actually hear Petra in action and what great coaching is all about! Quite unique :) This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit afonsofranco.substack.com

This week on The Melting Pot we learned from the CEO of Fluffy, Pavel Gertsberg. In this episode, Pavel offers us an inside look at the transformation of Fluffy from its roots as a pet insurance company to a comprehensive pet health business that's reimagining support for pet owners. With the rise of pet ownership, particularly after the pandemic, Pavel discusses the fresh challenges that new pet parents face and how Fluffy aims to ease the stress that accompanies caring for our four-legged companions. He'll share how Fluffy's digital vet clinic and subscription model aim to revolutionise the industry by providing cost-efficient, accessible, in-house pet care.Drawing from his rich background in startups and revenue acceleration, Pavel cautions against the siren call of growth hacking in the early stages. Instead, he advocates for founders to get their hands dirty to find the elusive product-market fit before scaling. How can we develop products that resonate with our customers emotionally? Pavel will help us find the answer using the example of Airbnb's approach. During this conversation, Dominic and Pavel will also discuss their views on the unpredictable nature of B2C businesses, the strategic advantages the UK presents for B2B enterprises, and the complexities of globalisation for financial firms.Download and listen today!

Petra Wille is a product leadership coach and the author of "Strong Product People" and "Strong Product Communities". Petra is passionate about helping product teams excel and found that some of the best companies she's worked with use "Communities of Practice" to support product manager growth. We spoke all about this, and how people can get started. A message from this episode's sponsor - SuperProduct This episode is sponsored by SuperProduct. Have you ever wished you could simplify competitive research, reduce time commitment and effort but still get extraordinary insights? Well, have I got news for you! You can try SuperProduct's new course which teaches you how to unlock the potential of AI-powered insights about your competitors and about your market. This course demystifies AI and teaches you how to be the mega prompt maestro that will transform ChatGPT into your personal research assistant. Check the course out here, and make sure to use code KNIGHT to support this podcast. Episode highlights:   1. Product managers forming communities of practice leads to great outcomes. Organisations where product teams form bottoms-up communities of practice are more up to date in their knowledge and thinking, work more closely together and break down silos. Forming these communities makes better product work easier. 2. No two communities of practice are the same (but they're all valuable) Sometimes, it's just a peer learning group. Sometimes, it's a book club. Sometimes it's just a bunch of people going to conferences together. Sometimes it's just a way to share updates with each other. The precise format of a community, and the rituals it observes, are less important than that it exists. 3. You need to get a rhythm going earlier to build the muscle memory of a community It's easy to see community engagement as something that will atrophy over time, and this is possible, but it's relatively straightforward to build an early rhythm to bed in practices and build muscle memory to make sure that the community sticks. 4. The best way to get started is to focus on human-to-human connections, not canvasses, for your minimum viable community It's important to focus your community on solving real problems that the team has, rather than the philosophical concept of "learning", which is valuable, but not tangible enough. Find things that matter, and get people together around those things. 5. Even if you're in a small company, there are still communities there for you. You might think that communities of practice are just for bigger companies and, to some extent, they are. However, there are always communities out there that will help you; either communities of people with a specific interest or just general meetup communities where you can chat with peers. Buy "Strong Product Communities" "STRONG Product Communities is a comprehensive guide that empowers product people, product leaders, HR, and Learning & Development professionals to develop and nurture successful product Communities of Practice (CoP). The book offers valuable insights gathered from survey data, interviews with CoP leaders, and the author's hands-on experience." Check it out on Amazon. Buy "Strong Product People" "Are you a product leader looking for advice on how to be certain that every product manager on your team lives up to their full potential? Do you want to make sure your product people are competent, empowered, and inspired, and would you like to know how you can best help them on this journey? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then this book is for you!" Check it out on Amazon. Contact Petra You can connect with Petra on LinkedIn.

The Great Product Owner: The Super Scrum Master, Blending Product Expertise and Coaching Skills In this episode, the focus was on a Scrum Master who went above and beyond the traditional role. This Scrum Master had extensive experience with the product side and demonstrated a highly personable nature with a coaching attitude. The phrase "it's humans all the way down" encapsulated their approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding and dealing with people from a human perspective. The episode highlighted the multifaceted skills and perspectives that this Scrum Master brought to the role, emphasizing the value of combining product knowledge, interpersonal skills, and a coaching mindset to create a positive and effective team dynamic. The Bad Product Owner: Unveiling a Scrum Master Anti-pattern, and what PO's can do about it In this episode, Mirela discussed a Scrum Master anti-pattern where certain individuals disrupted the entire team under cover of implementing Scrum. Mirela suggests that one way to avoid this anti-pattern is to have a mentor to support the Product Owner. In the mentoring sessions, Mirela questioned the PO about whether the work of the Scrum Master was causing disruption and noise, and whether they were escalating numerous issues. She advised self-reflection to identify any triggers for such behavior. Building positive relationships within the team was recommended. Mirela emphasizes that excessive escalation is detrimental to everyone involved.   [IMAGE HERE] Are you having trouble helping the team work well with their Product Owner?

The discussion began by considering the size and nature of the organization, whether it operates in a B2B or B2C environment, and the specific challenges the product owner (PO) needs to navigate. A tip was shared to create a list of requirements for success based on the product and organization context. Some PO hiring teams tips shared included looking for similarities between one's own business and successful businesses to hire from those industries. The importance of cognitive flexibility as a key skill for POs was also highlighted. The episode also included references to Product People live stream events. Featured Retrospective for the Week: The Asynchronous Agile Retrospective, a case study by a Product Owner In this episode, Mirela shared her views on Agile retrospectives and provided practical tips. She recommended that all Product Owners (POs) ask Scrum Masters to host retrospectives. She discussed the benefits of asynchronous retrospectives and encouraged participants to write stories about improvements. Mirela suggested hosting a pre-mortem if a project or situation carries a high risk. She emphasized the importance of reflecting on what could have been done better with the available knowledge at the time. She mentioned the book Thinking in Bets: Making Smarter Decisions When You Don't Have All the Facts by Annie Duke, and highlighted the need to tune the frequency of retrospectives to address recurring issues effectively.   [IMAGE HERE] Retrospectives, planning sessions, vision workshops, we are continuously helping teams learn about how to collaborate in practice!

Mirela Mus: The Product Owner's View on Understanding and Overcoming Agile Team Self-Destructive Patterns Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this episode, Mirela discussed a team that self-destructed, highlighting various anti-patterns and providing helpful tips. She emphasized the negative impact of being overly focused on competition rather than individual work. Toxic personalities within the team and the acceptance of individuals who didn't align with the team culture were identified as destructive factors. Mirela suggested ignoring disruptive behaviors selectively and being mindful of personal anxiety when starting work. Working "around" difficult team members was discouraged, while assuming good intentions and engaging in one-on-one discussions were recommended. The Nonviolent Communication (NVC) approach was mentioned, and open discussions in team channels were advised to address problematic behaviors transparently. Featured Book of the Week: Competing Against Luck: The Story of Innovation and Customer Choice by Clayton Christensen In this episode, Mirela shared her recommended books. The first recommendation was "Competing Against Luck" by Clayton Christensen, which helps cut through the noise and understand the underlying factors in successful innovation. The next recommendation was "Thinking in Systems" by Donella Meadows, a book that aids in navigating organizations and comprehending incentives by emphasizing the impact of systems. Mirela humorously mentioned the phrase, "it's because of the system, man!" Lastly, Mirela refers to the concept of "OODA Loop," which is the cycle observe–orient–decide–act, developed by military strategist and United States Air Force Colonel John Boyd. These books provide valuable insights for understanding innovation, organizational dynamics, and the PO role.   [IMAGE HERE] Do you wish you had decades of experience?

Mirela Mus: The Product Owner's view on the overprotective Scrum Master that lacked a focus on value Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this episode, Mirela discusses a Scrum Master failure in a classical scrum setup. The Scrum Master lacked understanding of the business and failed to protect the team. The client was struggling with a difficult subscription service and wanted to replace their old system, but the Scrum Master focused more on team-building activities. This caused panic and highlighted the importance of finding a shared goal and fostering team cohesion. Several anti-patterns were identified, including the Scrum Master feeling useless and prioritizing "showing value" without understanding the project's objectives. We discuss some Scrum Master tips for addressing these issues, such as open communication, maintaining a clear focus on critical product aspects, and avoiding the application of frameworks solely for the sake of it.   [IMAGE HERE] Recovering from failure, or difficult moments is a critical skill for Scrum Masters.

To create value, product people, stakeholders, and development teams have to work together. But when people collaborate, things don't always go smoothly, and problems emerge. As the person in charge of the product, you should address these issues and offer constructive feedback. That's often easier said than done, though. Asking people to change their behaviour can be difficult, especially when you are not their boss. To help you with this challenge, I have developed a new framework, which I describe in this podcast episode.

Change seems to be the only constant when it comes to software technology. Over the last ten years, microservices, cloud-based computing, augmented reality, blockchain, the Internet of Things, machine learning, and artificial intelligence have emerged—to name just a few new technologies. But as product people, we are often so busy with getting new and enhanced features delivered that we risk overlooking new tech trends and being overtaken by competitors. In this episode, I share three tips that help you spot new and potentially disruptive technologies early on so you can take full advantage of those that will benefit your product.

How did it turn into the shortest internship in tech history? What are the single biggest product lessons Jack has from working with Evan Spiegel? 2. Product 101: Art vs Science: Does Jack believe product is more art or science? If he were to assign numbers to them, what would they be? How does Jack define creativity? What can founders and product leaders do to ensure their teams are as creative as possible? What is the 3 step framework through which product leaders should prioritize product ideas? Does Jack believe that when the CEO is no longer the Head of Product, the company is dead? Does Jack agree with Gustav Soderstrom, "talk is cheap, so we should do more of it"? 3. The SNAP Hiring Process: What Works and What Does Not: What is the hiring process for the product team at SNAP? What questions are most revealing of 10x product people in the interview process? What case studies and tests does Jack use in the interview process? What other roles and functions does Jack bring into the interview process as part of the decision? What are the single biggest mistakes founders make in the hiring process for product? 4. SNAP, The Future, and The World Around Us: What do Jack and SNAP believe will be the future for augmented reality? What country is SNAP not big in today but will be in the next 5 years? Why that one? Why did SNAP tear down its android app and start again? What has been the impact? Were the SNAP glasses a success? What is their future?

Growth Stalls can happen to anyone and often happen after really strong growth Companies can be growing, growing, growing and then all of a sudden just stall. There are factors that influence this, but if they're not addressed then growth stalls can last for years or decades 2. There are some red flags that indicate growth stalls and leaders need to listen Too many leaders believe in themselves too much that they miss the signs of a growth stall & fail to address them. Status quo bias and ignoring dissenting opinions can impede efforts to fix it. 3. The earlier you catch a growth stall the better but it's never too late Identifying stalls early naturally helps, but if you catch it late then you can still turn it around as long as you're realistic about what "turning it around" means and adjust your expectations. 4. Growth comes from understanding your customers & too many companies don't If teams have different user personas defined, no one has user personas defined. There needs to be a concerted effort to understand your ideal customers and it should be a top-down, aligned effort. 5. Alignment is crucial for any of this stuff to work The top reasons for growth stalls are: Not understanding your customers, Not understanding your positioning, Knowledge gaps & misalignments between teams. You need everyone to know the same stuff & pull in the same direction!   Contact Adrienne You can connect with Adrienne on LinkedIn, Twitter or check her website, AdrienneNakohl.com.

About the Episode Mirela Mus is a product manager, product leader, mentor, coach, advisor and company founder who wanted to solve a problem that she kept seeing when she spoke to company leaders; the need to spin up product teams to cover hiring gaps and parental leave.

There are plenty of examples of great onboarding into poor company culture and bad onboarding into a great culture. It's the culture that's important!   Onboarding for product managers is harder than for most roles   Product managers are at the centre of everything and the requirements of the role can be really ambiguous depending on the company. The product culture is often underdeveloped which can drag product managers down.   There's a playbook for this stuff and a structured approach that PMs can take   You need to come up with a plan. There are things you can ask for in advance, stakeholders to map and sensitive topics to uncover. These can help you work out where you need to focus to be successful.   Contact Mirela   You can check out Mirela's blog post, Blazing Fast Onboarding for Product Managers.

She regrouped, came back, and won the event. Don't give up!   You need to be honest, and sometimes vulnerable, to start a company Mackenzie had never started a company before and she has learned on the job.

This has proven helpful when writing about crypto.     Web3 is the natural progression of where the web is going "If it ain't broke don't fix it" won't cut it. It is broken and it needs fixing. Web3 offers a chance of a future where everything is decentralised and you aren't owned by banks or corporations.     Web3 can be incomprehensible to newcomers & especially companies trying to get in Rachael's trying to use her writing & communication skills to make Web3 accessible. She wants to avoid companies hiring clueless consultants and help companies make a real impact.     VCs and institutional investors are sniffing around Web3 but they need to be authentic The same old Web2 investors have sensed a gold rush and are coming in to try to make money, but there's a strong sense of community and inauthentic people will quickly be sniffed out.     It's mass adoption or bust now There's a lot of work going on to bring a proper consumer-grade experience to Web3 apps, which has been lacking but is getting better. There is also work going on to make people feel secure and that they won't lose all their money to hacks.     Contact Rachael You can connect with Rachael on Twitter, or check out Narrativ3.

They know too much and don't understand how complex their messaging has become. Having an independent audit can help to understand what doesn't work.   Messaging is WHAT you say about your product, copywriting and brand voice is HOW you say it Messaging is more than just words. It's a strategy informed by company values, overall positioning & ideal customers. It helps people understand why they should care about your product   Successful messaging strategy looks different for each company but there are some things they have in common: Clarity - Everyone should know what you do consistently Ease - Don't try to say too much or confuse people Relevance - Resonates with your audience's needs   There's a framework to help with this stuff, but much of the value is intangible Diane has her ROAR (Research, Opportunity, Assembly, Review) framework, which of course has hard outputs. But so much of the benefit is the clarity & alignment you get through going through it.   Messaging strategy is a top-down effort and not just marketing fairy dust Messaging is based on some of the fundamentals of the company, including its mission, vision & strategy. It needs deep leadership involvement as well as a cross-functional group from around the company   Contact Diane You can connect with Diane on LinkedIn, or check out Lion Words.

On today's episode, Kunle is joined by Oren Schauble, Brand Expert and Creator of Product People, a community focused on providing entrepreneurs with product innovation strategies and product-related content to build better margins. Standing at the forefront of product development with a design and branding background, Oren decided to venture into the realm of M&A. Alongside his partners, they did a public roll-up company over a three-year period and acquired different companies in the cannabis space. After experiencing firsthand how a large organization functions, Oren had decided that he didn't want to return to large-scale operations and create something big. Instead, he set his goals to create a community that serves to share ideas, practices, and work with fellow entrepreneurs.   With the community he built, he shares different methodologies and approaches when it comes to differentiating a product. He goes deeper and shares his best practices in finding opportunities to improve the overall product that a brand has. Not only does he focus on the physical product but he gives emphasis in utilizing unscalable feedback such as combing through Reddit threads and learning more about their products. This episode is especially exciting as you'd hear Kunle and Oren talk about a multitude of topics that certainly resonates with every entrepreneur.
