What might a 30-60-90 day plan look like for a Jr. PMM as they're being introduced to product marketing and coming up to speed on the company itself?

First 30 Days

  • Focus on learning the product (demo, the features, product positioning)

  • Learn about your business (sales process, pipeline, key KPIs, goals/success metrics - the basics of the business)

  • Listening tour to learn about your customer and competitors

    • Listen to gong calls from customers and prospects

    • Review your ICP, buyer persona cards, customer journey etc

    • Review competitors websites, internal battle cards etc (have them do research on each competitor and continue into 60 days)

  • Review your brand guidelines (tone of voice, how your write & speak etc)

First 60 Days

  • They should be comfortable demoing the product (confident and able to do it)

  • Competitive research & voice of customer (ongoing)

  • Start to introduce them to folks across the business

  • Identify a few quick wins for them -- what are 1-2 projects they can take on and deliver in the first 60 days to showcase value and feel accomplished?

  • If possible, have them shadow an ongoing product launch so that they can learn through absorption

First 90 Days

  • Define their scope and responsibilities.

    • Will they be a generalist? If so, what areas of PMM will you have them work on?

      • Some ideas: Competitive research & building battle cards, building foundational sales assets (one pagers, building customer case studies, voice of customer (from customer feedback etc))

    • Will they have a focus? On positioning? on product launches?

      • Define what their goals are related to this for the quarter - and how you will measure success for it

  • Make sure to keep checking in with them (weekly 1-1s). You'll start to identify the areas they are strong and where they need more coaching. Provide that in real-time to them so they can keep learning.
