What skills do you look for in a good Outbound Product Manager?
1 Answer
Sailaja Kalle
Gainsight Director, Product Management • February 21
Outbound Product managers also have foundational product management skills, technical expertise, and a focus on product success like traditional Product managers. However, the best outbound PMs are continuous learners who are good communicators, customer-focused, and technically savvy. Ideally, I look for candidates who have meaningful product management experience, worked in the enterprise software space before, know the industry landscape, and have outstanding soft skills.
