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.
