Top Long-Form Content

1. 15 mistakes to avoid for better product launches

   1. What we liked: Finally, a sober assessment of product launches combined with great tactical suggestions like testing your messaging before launch.

   2. Choice quote: “Yes, users need to know how to use a feature. The knowledge base articles and video demos help. However, before the “how,” they need to get answers to “what” and ‘why.’”

2. Working in a company that doesn’t know their customers

   1. What we liked: A phenomenal explanation of how smart people bloat the focus inadvertently, how they actually behave in the wild, why it’s a problem, and what to do about it.

   2. Choice quote: “Listening to everyone makes you design for no one…It’s like having a Christian, a Muslim, and a Hindu in the same room. They all believe in a God, so they have the same view of the world, right? Obviously, that’s not how it works because the proverbial devil always lives in the details. In the details, we build solutions for our customers.”
