CONTEXT! CONTEXT! CONTEXT! Storytelling skills for product management and product marketing are essential because without them, the value context (why the market cares) of what you’re building, marketing and selling is completely masked. That mask is usually in the form of technical product jargon and/or a lot of superlatives (best-in-class, intelligent, actionable, optimized, etc.).

If you’re starting a new company, building and funding it around a product-led growth model is much different than transforming a mature company that was built for direct sales and evolving it to product-led growth. First of all, you don’t have the baggage of a product portfolio that was built for direct sales. Second, you don’t have to go through the culture change and infrastructure makeover.

It’s a lesson that all product people need to learn; you can have all the ingredients for a successful product and still fall flat on your face. By now it’s well known that Quibi, which launched in April of 2020 and raised $1.75 billion in funding, is set to shut down in December…only eight months after launching. While there’s no joy in watching a well-intentioned product fail, it’s important to examine why a seemingly sure-fire recipe for success still managed to be dead on arrival.

There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take old ideas and put them into a mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations.
