Product management strategy

Are customers truly at the center of your product strategy?

Gain deeper insight into what customers want and how they feel about your products with CallMiner Eureka.

Building a customer-centric product management strategy

Every great product management strategy is meant to answer two questions: “Who is this product for, and how will it fulfill their needs?” Yet, oddly, too many strategies are crafted without thorough awareness of what customers really want and need, or how they feel about existing products and competitors’ offerings.

Sometimes this is because product teams believe so strongly in a product that they disregard customer feedback and rely on gut feelings instead. At other times, product teams lack feedback management software that can deliver an accurate and comprehensive understanding of a target audience. Many product feedback tools today are focused on developing insight based on customer surveys, which tend to only capture comments from a small subset of highly satisfied or dissatisfied customers.

CallMiner offers a superior alternative. The CallMiner Eureka conversation intelligence platform captures and analyzes 100% of customer interactions across all channels, enabling product teams to make data-driven decisions based on a deep understanding of customer opinions and preferences.

How conversation intelligence informs product management strategy

Conversation intelligence is built on the idea that conversations with your customers can reveal deep insights and patterns that can transform the product development process – as long as you can analyze customer interactions at scale. To accomplish this, conversation intelligence platforms capture the unstructured information and unsolicited feedback in customer conversations, transforming it into structured data that can be analyzed for actionable insight. This technology is able to transcribe, categorize, tag, and score customer conversations that take place on every channel, using artificial intelligence and machine learning to determine the meaning of a customer’s words as well as their intent and the emotion and sentiment behind it.

The results can power product management strategy with invaluable insight into what customers think of products – and where they may be having issues. Ultimately, conversation intelligence data can help teams to innovate new products based on customer suggestions, improve existing products in response to customer comments, and uncover competitive strengths, weaknesses, threats, and risks.

Frequently asked questions.

A product management strategy is a plan for how a product will be designed, tested, produced, launched, and marketed to a target audience. To create a product management strategy, product teams must understand what customers want and need from a product, what competing products exist, what marketing messages will resonate with target audiences, and how products can be profitably produced.


Customer feedback provides product teams with insight into the opinions, preferences, and demands of target audiences. By extracting insight from solicited and unsolicited customer feedback, teams can gain a clear picture of what matters most to customers, driving product innovation and improvement.


Surveys, focus groups, and user testing capture feedback from a small fraction of a target audience. In contrast, conversation intelligence can capture and analyze 100% of omnichannel interactions with customers. Leveraging AI and machine learning, conversation intelligence platforms convert the unstructured information in conversations into structured data that can be searched and analyzed to identify patterns and uncover opportunities from thousands or millions of customer conversations.
