Hi there!

I̶'̶m̶ ̶f̶r̶e̶s̶h̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶P̶M̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶,̶ ̶I̶'̶v̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶i̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶P̶M̶ ̶s̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶M̶a̶r̶c̶h̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶.̶ ̶ ̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶r̶e̶c̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶p̶a̶n̶y̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶r̶n̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶q̶u̶i̶c̶k̶e̶r̶ ̶f̶a̶s̶h̶i̶o̶n̶.̶

Can you please give me whatever books, articles, 'cheat sheets' or resources that have helped you? I like to be at the top of my game, and I feel like I'm not as knowledgeable as i'd be comfortable with. Anything at all would be a huge help to me!

EDIT:

Updating the call for request-

I need additional learning/help in market research targeting. Setting up a funnel system using the correct questions formatted in a way to deliver the best traffic fitting the specific needs of whatever link I have to send to at that moment. This could just be a matter of finding the right buyer, or pushing them through a study and everything in between.



Thank you so much for your time and effort. Can't wait to get to know you guys

      Hey Jason!

      Sorry, you're right, there's probably a hundred different meanings to PM

      I was referring to Project Management, or managing multiple marketing programs. Ensuring that the proper traffic is distributed to the campaign within the time frame, within the budget, with good quality leads (best ways to decide which screeners to use and otherwise).

      Is anyone here into that?

    Start with you, or your employer, crafting the persona of your ideal customer.

    Male/Female?
    Age?
    Interests?
    Knowledge of your niche
    Preconceived notions about your niche
    Beliefs about your niche
    Problems they are having
    Other solutions they are aware of
    Solutions they aren't aware of
    Typical day
    Typical objections

    And so forth. The more you understand and know about your target audience, the easier it is to set up marketing Funnels for them, to include messaging and traffic generation.

    Does that make sense?

    Edit: I have zero problem breaking this completely down for you
