Product managers jumping into the Figma file to add comments for the designers

🚨🚨 BREAKING: 🚨🚨 If you're a Google Sheets user, stop what you're doing and check this out... ...they just dropped 10 new functions on us!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Christmas came early for Sheets nerds 🎅 Let's check them out 👇

There are so many similar sounding roles in tech: · Product manager (PM) · Technical program manager (TPM) · Project manager (Also PM) · Producer (PROD) But there are big differences in WHAT you work on and your career ceiling. Here’s what you need to know:

It’s easy to criticize a product. It’s hard to build a better one.

I’ve “chopped it up” (the new term for hopping on a casual call) with around 15 ecom operators I’d never met before in the past 10 days. All what I would call “doing well” Different businesses, tactics, and strategies. One common denominator. 🧵🧵🧵

“Product-led growth is going to touch every category and we’re still in the early years.” This statement still mind-boggles me. SaaS innovation is wild 🚀 kylepoyar.substack.com/p/inventing-pr…

@aakashgupta Of course! Genuinely appreciate the stellar product content. Keep up the great work; it’s immeasurably helpful!

@joncorwin Thanks for sharing!

@iamshackelford @PebblePostPDM Been creepin’ your tweets good sir!Will gladly contribute to the chatter—hopefully more signal than noise. Keep that hustle alive 🔥

@joncorwin @PebblePostPDM Mr Corwin! Where have you been hiding! Twitter needs more of you.

We’re seeing more and more brands begin to use this also. Anyone giving it a try?

@rjtalyor Bonus benefits for cat owners

@brettwesterman @CopperInc @WordPress @zapier @gravityforms Truly a gratifying feeling. 🙌 Nice work, Brett!

Months of researching CRM's, setting up tracking in @CopperInc with their helpful team, synching with @WordPress and @zapier, new forms with @gravityforms ... and then watching your first website lead seamlessly roll in the front door.

@iamshackelford Same... 😞

What the heck is going on! Haha

@jakerobinson @kmruddy Throwback to our hallowed Bluelock days! Love it, Jake. Honored to support an awesome community 👊

More fun PowerCLI facts? The 'new school' PowerCLI logo in 2013 was created by @joncorwin, back when he and I worked at Bluelock. @kmruddy did some minor tweaking to it to turn it into stickers.

@CaseyA @stefanweitz @We_Are_Jetson @SLewkowict @BlackWolfNation @ReadersDotCom Enjoyed the discussion!

#DTC Disruptors are taking share from Big Brands by (1) beating them at performance marketing and (2) better UX. These are non-negotiable in the digital era. Good read » metricdigital.com/blog/how-disru… via @Metric_Digital #ecommerce

@angeldelamata @bling0 Many thanks!

@joncorwin @bling0 I think is "transaction margin"

ROAS: can we agree to stop using this useless vanity metric (~as useless as “registered users”)? Who cares if you have 5x ROAS if margin is 3%? Spent $1, got $1*5*3% = $.15 Should be looking at MOAS: margin on ad spend eg margin returned per ad $ spent, + subsequent txn margin
