Considering the leap from being a product manager to a leadership role, but not sure what’s involved in managing product managers? You’re smart to look into this.

As a product-first company, new product launches are a core part of Intercom’s DNA – which means there’s always an abundance of juicy launches for us product marketers to work on.

As a consequence, we don’t pay full attention to what the other person is saying or filter what is being said; we only hear what supports our view.

Customer centricity and customer experience management are the hot topics of this year’s business conversations. These themes are only going to become more prominent not just in mobile, but across all channels. As such, it’s not enough for companies to send communication into a vacuum.

Unless your business is transactional, nurturing your existing customers should be just as important as acquiring new logos. The way I see it, closing a deal is just the first step.
