What are the top industry skills a junior PMM should be honing in order to level up to a PMM?
1 Answer
My junior PMMs have so much energy and enthusiasm but sometimes they miss the bigger picture. Thus, I would recommend honing in on:
- Clear and concise communication
- Strategic thinking and GTM planning
- Being thorough - what impact does X have on Y
I’ve noticed that junior PMMs usually get outbound marketing roles and believe that’s a great way to get used to how we communicate product launches, digital marketing and customer marketing.

What kind of visibility do you have in regards to what pieces of content your reps use most often or which pieces are actually closing deals?Hi ,
Thank you for doing this! I have a PMM background from about 5 years ago ( for about 3 years) , then worked in more general marketing roles ( like demand gen) for a couple of years, went to bschool and now I’m in a pricing role - which is not exactly PMM. I want to make the pivot back into PMM . How can I leverage what I am doing currently and what I have done in the past, to take on a messaging, positioning and enablement PMM role ? What can someone who has an extensive sales background do to prove themselves competent for an entry-level product marketing role?Should a product marketing manager be a SaaS startup's first hire, and why?How do you prioritize and manage requests from various stakeholders across the business?What are your top 3 tips for someone looking to break into their first Product Marketing role?
