Customers are hard-pressed to leave feedback in any form, and the way digital customer feedback is gathered is often clunky, time-consuming, and distracting from the goal the customer came to accomplish in the first place. Because many brands struggle to gather customer feedback in proactive, non-intrusive ways, feedback typically comes from the smallest, most vocal group of customers.

Part of the familiar ritual of eating a meal in any good restaurant is the moment the waiter asks if you’re enjoying your food and whether there is anything else they can get for you. Now, you might not think much about that particular restaurant practice – after all, it’s just a simple follow-up question shortly after your food has arrived.

These engineers are in demand, they have other companies constantly knocking on their doors, pitching them exciting opportunities, as well as money, in an attempt to convince them to leave. Given that cutthroat environment, how do we, as product managers, contribute to a strong engineering culture?

Collecting and making sense of mobile customer feedback isn’t a walk in the park for product managers and marketers. There’s a big analytics challenge in pulling in the right sources of information and prepare the right views for leaders and product owners to consume. It can take months to set up a first version and years to get it right as sorting through feedback from different customer segments is difficult, especially as the size of your customer base grows.

Bad form designs have saved me hundreds of dollars. Long, painful forms have potentially lost your company a couple thousand bucks by scaring your customers away.

I work with a lot of CEOs, usually as an advocate for better product and development organizations. Many CEOs tell me that they (personally) are the best-informed people within their companies about what customers need , and they (personally) are best positioned to drive decisions on product priorities.

Modern go-to-market teams know it takes more than one email to break through the noise. Multiple touchpoints means more ways to get your pitch right — and, potentially, more ways to be wrong. The good news? Once you know how to write compelling, one-off emails to entice prospective customers, you can easily do the same across a short sequence of emails.
