Hi Fishes,
Could you please shed some light on Manager(M3) role in L&T insurance domain.
Appreciate your review

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Have you ever hired a freelancer to make some memes for your community? I was thinking of trying this to get some new members.

It’s amazing the power that asking easy-to-answer questions can have on a community. It’s a great way to get nervous users more comfortable with engaging.

I’ve started a new job and though they have a community, it has been stagnant for a long time. Would you face the change directly with a “we’re back!” style post, or just increase the activity without acknowledging the absence?

Are community manager conferences worth attending?

I have a bit of experience doing social media management with online businesses but I’d like to try out working with local businesses in my area. What are some good strategies for doing cold outreach, and what kind of services would you offer to entice them to work with you?

Moderators/managers for virtual communities actually have a pretty difficult job because the rules for posting have to be interpreted, there are very few hard and fast absolutes in this profession

I need a magic spell to make employers stop asking community managers to design, manage ads and create strategies. As you read, a CM is in charge of your COMMUNITY. They're should not be doing the work of 4 people.

It's actually a lot of work to manage our online communities, but some people think my job sounds "fun" because I "get to" surf the internet for a living, if they only knew...
