Personas have the power to make or break not just your product marketing efforts, but that of your sales, marketing, product, engineering and customer success counterparts, too.
Throughout this course, we’ll be exploring quite literally every element of the persona process. From types of personas, use cases to persona pre-work, interview guides to data consolidation, company-wide communication plans to reviewals, you name it, this course has got it.
By the end of this course, you’ll know the different types of personas (user, buyer, brand…), how many personas you should have, what having personas means for your company, how to create or build a persona, and much more.
By the end of this course you’ll be able to:
