The next time someone asks what product marketing does here, you're the one with the answer. You define what you own and why it matters, in plain language leadership understands.
Sales stops asking for a one-pager and starts asking for your read on the deal, because the last thing you built helped them win.
The launch you drive shows up, moves a number, and everyone knows it was yours. Leadership starts repeating your words in their own meetings.
And the next time there's a big call about where the product is going, you're in the room before the decision, not handed the slides after.
You stop doing whatever you get handed and start doing real product marketing, and people can finally see the impact.
