@busmark_w_nika I can really relate to the last one, and I’ve come to realize the importance of networking. I'm actively working on improving my skills around this. Thanks for the list!

Prithvi Damera · Answer

AI-driven, product-led growth is the game changer, especially with Millennials and Gen Z dominating the buyer journey. These groups know exactly what’s happening in the market—they don’t rely on established players. By embedding AI into the product itself, we’re seeing organic engagement soar: just 10 people led to 18 interactions each! With AI, the product becomes the conversation starter, adding real value and naturally turning users into advocates. This approach resonates with a new generation that values innovation and authenticity over brand legacy.

Answer

The landscape shifted so rapidly, and what worked even 6 months ago became obsolete.Gone are the days of hard-sell tactics - customers want to feel understood and supported. Tapping into their true pain points and needs has yielded far better results than generic promotional content. I've also gained a newfound appreciation for the power of authentic, empathetic messaging. Discussions like this one on Product Hunt have been invaluable in learning from others' experiences.

George Elliott · Answer

Audience feedback is gold.  My best campaigns came from listening closely to what they wanted.
