Who Is Going To Buy The Darn Thing?
"Tools to Convince Management of Your Investment in the Voice of the Customer" 
Boston Product Management Association (bpma), PDF


How do product managers justify their time to management, acquire sufficient resources, and develop a budget for front-end marketing?  How much, exactly, is needed?

Customer understanding is inherent in the role of product manager and mandatory for success.  Yet the time allocation, resources, and budget for acquiring customer input is rarely, if ever, explicit in the job description.  Investing in Voice of the Customer (VoC) might not even be a listed task.

Mr. Grabowski will reveal surprising, counterintuitive data and a unique formula for the significant investment required to hear the Voice of the Customer, for budgeting and staffing front-end marketing, and to achieve business success.
  • Not "Why," not "How To," but "How Much?"
  • Not "Invest to Understand Customer Needs," but "Tools to Convince Management!"
