PMM in industries that run on gut feel

Product marketing developed most of its standard toolkit in SaaS. Clean attribution, usage data, NPS scores, rapid iteration. Maitri Gandhi does none of that. She builds messaging and sales collateral for Hoshizaki America across food service, healthcare, and education, relying on qualitative signals, conversations, and a lot of trial and error to work out what lands. Maitri came to product marketing from fashion design, which gives her a particular read on the role. She talks about ICP work as something closer to observation than analysis, picking up on context and behavior rather than pulling a report. Across industries as different as hospital procurement and school cafeterias, that kind of attention to context is often the only reliable input available. Her take on sales enablement is worth hearing. She sees it as a conversation starter rather than a content library. The sales team should be able to walk into a room with something to say, and her job is to give them that. 👋 About us: Since March 2019, PMA has been uniting product marketers to drive demand, adoption, and success.
