Advice from product marketing leaders
Here are some common mistakes and best practices on how to avoid them.
Common mistakes
Looking for ways to better understand your buyers? Here are some things to avoid:
Being biased
Try not to ask leading questions. You want to make sure you’re collecting unbiased insight into how people really think. Similarly, don’t just rely on loyal customers for feedback. Go broader and reach a representative sample of your target buyer.
Using jargon or language that could be misinterpreted
Instead, aim for clarity and choose clearly defined and well-understood terms so that you get unbiased responses.
One-and-done feedback
Don’t think of surveys as just a one-off thing. Collect continuous feedback, so you can measure progress and stay ahead of any changes in the market.
Best practices
Want to know what product marketing experts suggest? Check out these tips:
Communicate learnings broadly and frequently
Combat internal assumptions or biases by sharing your knowledge consistently across your organization. By bringing visibility into what prospects are saying, you can rally your partners for greater impact.
Recruit targeted participants to generate the needed insights
Bring visibility to the challenges your customers are facing by sharing Not every user’s opinion is equally important. Survey the right audience based on specific business objectives to give you the most relevant insights.
Measure and track data over time
If your industry is rapidly changing, understanding longitudinal trends in buyer behavior will keep your messaging competitive and relevant.
