It’s fascinating to me to be in a startup working with some of the largest companies in the world. This area has a special blend of pure product, operations and tech that doesn’t seem to be as prominent in the B2C world. I’ve been at Eigen for seven months and I’m hugely impressed with the whole team here.

Letting your product do the heavy lifting for getting new customers and growing your business is often perceived as more aligned to business-to-consumer (B2C) offerings where product pricing doesn’t justify sales team(s).

Understanding how B2B product management is a different ball game altogether Product folks who have worked on the early stage enterprise products may relate with the title. Building an enterprise product is a whole lot different from building a consumer product. This is because, for most for B2C products, the user is also the customer.

At startups or growth stage companies, a “Product Manager” is responsible for identifying what needs to be built and then executing on building the product. Identifying user needs, or customer needs in the B2C environment, is currently a weakness of mine and a skill that is a hallmark of both B2B and B2C product managers.

There’s a clear distinction between technical and business-oriented roles, as well as between those focused on B2C and B2B markets. The ideal customer profile is big enterprise deals. For example. Limited free offerings. Negotiable or custom pricing. Customers expect the product to be customised to their needs.
