Sept. 15, 2012 - PRLog -- San Francisco - Successful marketing is all about delivering the right information to the right individual at the right time in the buying process. To accomplish this, organizations must construct and abide by a systematic, complete persona-based approach that takes specific b-to-b buying characteristics into account. Product strategists will be among the biggest beneficiaries. Understanding buyer personas is a best practice to ensure that a new offering’s discovery and design process is founded not only on the needs of the end user, but also on those of the buyer. When leveraged properly, buyer personas are a key driver of customer-centric innovation.

Marisa Kopec leads SiriusDecisions’ Product Marketing and Management service, delivering research and advice to help product marketers and managers succeed.  Marissa will speak at the weekly Global Product Management Talk on Monday, September 24, 2012 at the simultaneous times of 1:00 PM Pacific Time, 3 PM CST Chicago, and 4:00 PM EST New York.
