Hi all! I’m going out on a limb here - I’m extremely interested in product marketing within the tech space (peloton specifically) does anyone have any insight into how Peloton’s recruitment process works? All I’ve ever seen posted are manager and director roles which are too senior for me at the moment. Any insight or tips would be greatly appreciated 😊 Peloton Interactive

Listen, learn, react.
You are new and fresh. Don’t try to save the world right away because you will likely fuck it up. Your goal is to listen a lot in the beginning, learn at the same time and act after your 90 days

The real videos with real customers.
Not only the training ones that are made by people under acid in wonderland.

30 days:
- make real good friends with your technical sellers + technical specialists. Ask them “what would make you successful at this account?
- interview prior account team, preferably over drinks. Understand what made them successful and where bodies are buried
- intro yourself to existing key + friendly client contacts. Ask them for feedback on your company
As a solutions engineer that just hit the 90 day mark of working with two new account executives, I approve of the previous notes. For context, I am a SE for a Salesforce ISV firm. One account executive, acts as know it all, the other has throughly done all of the above, and we love him to death.
