Then substantiate them with interviews and home in on the most relevant real-life pain points and challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Be specific. Then combine personas with overlapping characteristics and segment personas that are clearly different.<\/p>\n<p>There are several tools that allow you to do this.

Rally the entire company around the new product<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxl.com\/blog\/product-marketing-examples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Product marketing is responsible for positioning alignment across the company<\/a>, including why you\u2019re upgrading your current product or adding a new featureset, and how you\u2019re selling it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to do this:<\/p>\n<p>Because product marketers are masters of the product and its positioning, you\u2019ll brief all departments on assets like sales scripts and marketing collateral.

Collecting <a href=\"https:\/\/cxl.com\/blog\/voice-of-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voice of customer data<\/a> helps you make sure users are experiencing your product in the best way possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u200bIn a <a href=\"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/hauser\/www\/Papers\/NoteontheVoiceoftheCustomer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marketing Science paper<\/a>, researchers defined four aspects of voice of customer research:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer needs described in the customer\u2019s own words;<\/li>\n<li>Hierarchical grouping of needs;<\/li>\n<li>Prioritization of needs;<\/li>\n<li>Segmentation of needs and perceived benefits by audience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The paper illustrates the critical need to talk to your customers. It shows them you care and that you\u2019re taking steps to solve their problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This research begins with your existing customer base.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CXL\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cxl.com\/institute\/online-course\/voice-of-customer-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voice of customer data<\/a> course recommends using surveys and polls to ask open- and closed-ended questions. This gives you both quantitative and qualitative to understand your customers\u2019 motivations and goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open-ended questions<\/strong> are helpful for gathering in-depth answers. Customers can respond to questions freely, in writing or via an interview.<\/p>\n<p>The downsides to open-ended questions are that interviews take longer, and survey questions get lower response rates. Longer responses require more of your customers\u2019 time and effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also more challenging to compare results between customers or segments due to response variance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Closed-ended questions<\/strong> encourage participation and allow for comparison. They can be helpful for benchmarking, perception measurement, and direct questions that don\u2019t require nuance to answer.<\/p>\n<p>However, there\u2019s more room for bias.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bias can creep in <a href=\"https:\/\/web.stanford.edu\/dept\/communication\/faculty\/krosnick\/docs\/2009\/2009_handbook_krosnick.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">from the question creator (you) or from the respondents<\/a>, meaning you might not get an honest answer. This is because the answers are provided via multiple-choice, yes or no, ranking, etc., and questions can inadvertently guide respondents\u2019 answers. It takes practice to design bias-free questionnaires.<\/p>\n<p>Design a survey that helps you understand your customers\u2019 motivations and goals using a mix of the two question types.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ask questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What pushed you to purchase our product\/service?<\/strong> This helps to understand your customer\u2019s mindset at the point of purchase.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What problem does our product solve for you?<\/strong> Your customers might use your product or service beyond your original value proposition.

A name that doesn\u2019t resonate with the customer can cripple a product\u2019s success.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Survey your customers to understand their associations with your kind of product, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do you refer to the process you do when you\u2019re using [competitor\u2019s] product?\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>What words come to mind to describe this process or the problem the product solves?<\/li>\n<li>How does using this product make you feel?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Names can be descriptive (literally describing what the product is or does) or branded (loosely related or unrelated to the product). Testing, voting, stakeholder interviews, and legal review will all help you determine the name that is the best fit.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-create-your-launch-messaging-and-pricing-strategy\">Create your launch messaging and pricing strategy<\/h4>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve determined a name, create product messaging that ladders back to the challenges your ideal customers are facing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Launch messaging should include short descriptions, use cases, key value propositions, differentiation, and supporting proof points. This messaging will inform your launch campaign creative, sales outreach, and product pages.<\/p>\n<p>Develop a pricing strategy that takes into account the value you\u2019re offering to your ideal customer. Pricing should pass the following tests:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Can you explain the <\/strong><strong>price<\/strong><strong> to your customer without being embarrassed?<\/strong> If the value does not align with the price, you risk letting your customers down post-sale or failing to get to a conversion in the first place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Is your <\/strong><strong>pricing<\/strong><strong> easy to understand?<\/strong> Avoid \u201cblack box\u201d pricing models, which set the price of a product based on complicated algorithms and sets of conditions. If you can\u2019t explain the pricing easily, your sales team won\u2019t be able to either, and you\u2019ll leave customers confused and frustrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Can you leverage existing packages or offerings?<\/strong> Your existing products can help you gauge the appropriate price for a new product based on comparable value. You can also consider how your products might price out when combined in a single sale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"h-consider-acquisition\">Consider acquisition<\/h4>\n<p>Use your customer persona(s) to determine how you\u2019re going to acquire customers. Two common methods are self-service and sales-assisted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Self-service<\/strong> relies on inbound customer activity. This method can leverage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ecommerce platforms and app stores, where customers find and purchase your product;<\/li>\n<li>Free trials, which hook customers by allowing them to test out your product;<\/li>\n<li>Upgrade triggers that move customers from free to paid products;<\/li>\n<li>Conversion funnel optimization, bringing people through awareness, consideration, conversion, and, eventually, loyalty and advocacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sales-assisted service<\/strong> is driven by inbound and outbound demand generation. Leverage your <a href=\"https:\/\/cxl.com\/blog\/marketing-funnel\/\">inbound marketing funnel<\/a> to ensure a steady flow of leads for your sales reps\u2019 outbound and cold prospecting efforts (as well as any account-based marketing strategies).<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-build-your-timeline\">Build your timeline<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, determine a launch timeline. This outlines specific dates, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When to have your GTM strategy completed;<\/li>\n<li>When your GTM execution plan must be ready (and budget acquired);<\/li>\n<li>The deadline for recruitment and onboarding of beta customers;<\/li>\n<li>Training and sales development, and;<\/li>\n<li>Launch day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When determining launch day, consider what works best for your product and your customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>External factors<\/strong> to consider include major holidays that could drown out your launch, competitor releases, and industry events.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Internal factors<\/strong> include product readiness, other company launches, and where you are in the sales quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-optimize-for-repeat-buyers\">Optimize for repeat buyers\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>If your existing or new products don\u2019t require repeat purchases, additional new product development can act as a retention strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Consider what add-ons you can offer your customers to increase purchase frequency. These can be products or services.<\/p>\n<p>Can you offer a more personalized package for select customer personas (e.g., service upgrades like one-to-one consulting with your team, tailored reports, or performance data)?<\/p>\n<p>Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pipedrive.com\/\">Pipedrive<\/a>, for example.
