Lessons In Product Management

Why precise definition leads to concrete solutions with Aazar Ali Shad - Head of Growth @ UserPilot

Listen Later

Whether you're thinking about your target market or your target persona and their problem(s), coming to a precise definition of what problem you're trying to solve and who has that problem is absolutely key for developing concrete, valuable solutions. 

That's what Aazar and I talk about on this episode, but here's some of the other things we discussed:

  • How Aazar got started in his career and how he got started in startups in Germany
  • His current role in UserPilot as Head of Growth
  • The environmental shifts that opened a big opportunity for Aazar and the founding team of eComply
  • Why it costs valuable time when starting with technology or opportunity versus a clearly defined problem
  • How potential customers can overvalue what they currently have 
  • The best solutions are the ones where you remove tasks people don't want to do
  • Why basing a business on a political/legal opportunity can kill you if the laws aren't enforced
  • How to pivot when you face hurdles
  • Finding Product-Market-Fit
  • How sometimes it matters more about which market is ready for your solution versus which market you think you can serve better
