For us, it was marketing.<\/p>\n<p>I was recently invited to be a guest on an episode of<a href=\"https:\/\/jobstobedone.org\/radio\/marketing-with-jobs-to-be-done\/\"> Jobs-to-be-Done Radio<\/a>. We talked through our experience of uncovering the jobs that Intercom is hired to do, and how we took those learnings and applied them to every aspect of our go-to-market strategy. From communications, to demand generation, events, to product and content marketing, jobs had a key role to play.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to the whole thing at <a href=\"https:\/\/jobstobedone.org\/radio\/marketing-with-jobs-to-be-done\/\">JTBD Radio<\/a>. Here&#8217;s a cheat sheet version:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"think-about-what-you-hire-a-milkshake-for\">Think about what you hire a milkshake for<\/h2>\n<p>Coming from a background in persona and solution-based marketing, I had to fundamentally change my approach when I joined Intercom. For me the easiest way to grok the Jobs-to-be-Done methodology was by watching Clay Christensen&#8217;s famous <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/f84LymEs67Y\">milkshake video<\/a> and understanding what &#8220;job&#8221; people buy milkshakes for. Des has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/author\/des\/\">written about this<\/a> plenty.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"market-for-jobs-not-personas\">Market for jobs, not personas<\/h2>\n<p>Your customers can come in all shapes and sizes across different verticals, but the one single thing that they have in common is the job that they&#8217;re looking to hire a product for.<\/p>\n<p>What are the jobs people are hiring you for? Are there any patterns to the job titles or functions of these people? Once you&#8217;ve identified these, you can be more focused with your content and targeted in your advertising\u00a0campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>You can see this\u00a0strategy applied\u00a0at a product marketing level on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\">Intercom&#8217;s homepage<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7447\" src=\"https:\/\/intercom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/intercom-jtbd-877x1024.jpg\" alt=\"intercom-jtbd\" width=\"640\" height=\"747\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can also see how\u00a0jobs\u00a0have shaped\u00a0our content strategy\u00a0in our first book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/books\/product-management\">Intercom on Product\u00a0Management<\/a>. It\u00a0offers guidance on the tough decisions you need to make as a\u00a0product manager\u2013one of the key personas that would hire Intercom for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/customer-feedback\">Learn job<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"knowing-the-job-helps-you-find-your-audience\">Knowing the job\u00a0helps you\u00a0find your\u00a0audience<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have a clear understanding of what these jobs are that helps inform our event strategy. It&#8217;s easier to answer questions like, &#8220;where are we going to meet the people that are looking to hire\u00a0us\u00a0for these specific jobs?&#8221;, &#8220;what are the events that we want to sponsor this year?&#8221;, and &#8220;what are the events we want to speak at?&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>One of the events that we speak at and sponsor is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindtheproduct.com\/\">Mind the Product<\/a> \u2013 an event for product managers. Since we know what the job is, we know who the people are hiring us for that job, we are\u00a0able to say &#8220;that&#8217;s a good marketing investment&#8221;. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindtheproduct.com\/2014\/10\/des-traynor-product-strategy-growing-company\/\">Here&#8217;s a recording<\/a> of\u00a0our Co-founder, Des Traynor, speaking at Mind the Product in London last year on the topic of product strategy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"numbers-dont-lie\">Numbers don&#8217;t lie<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to understanding the jobs that people hire Intercom for\u00a0we&#8217;re continually improving how we explain the product, not just on the website, but we carry that through the whole funnel. We&#8217;ve since more than tripled top of funnel traffic and that&#8217;s continuing to grow on a weekly basis. At the same time we&#8217;re still converting at the same rate.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"start-by-talking-to-your-customers\">Start by talking to your customers<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;re not going to get a good understanding\u00a0of the jobs unless you invest the time, get on the phone, and speak to a bunch\u00a0of different customers. That needs to be active customers, it needs to be new customers, it needs to be customers that tried your product but didn&#8217;t buy, and it also needs to be customers that cancelled. You need a broad mix.<\/p>\n<p>Study the conversations intensely and identify any patterns that come out of them. From there, define what the job is that people\u00a0are looking to hire your product for and follow a framework\u00a0that works for you.\u00a0For us it started with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/12-steps-to-creating-landing-pages-that-convert\/\">creating a messaging guide<\/a> for each job.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Our fourth book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intercom.com\/blog\/books\/jobs-to-be-done\">Intercom on Jobs-to-be-Done<\/a><\/em>, is a collection of our best thoughts and ideas on the topic.
