As a product manager, my response to a sales person asking to prioritize a new feature would be to first understand the context and business impact of the request. I would ask questions such as: - What is the customer need or pain point that this feature would solve? - How many customers are impacted by this need? - What is the revenue potential of addressing this need? Once I have a clear understanding of the context, I would evaluate the request against the product roadmap and existing priorities. I would consider factors such as: - How does this request align with the overall product strategy and goals? - How does this request compare to other potential features and initiatives in terms of impact, effort, and resources required? - What is the timeline and urgency of this request? Based on this evaluation, I would determine whether to prioritize the request, deprioritize it, or add it to a future roadmap. If the request is prioritized, I would work with the sales person and cross-functional teams to define the feature requirements, design, and development plan. Throughout the process, I would ensure alignment with the product vision and strategy, as well as customer needs and feedback.
