FAQs

🙋‍♂️   Who performs the ProductPartner service?

Hey, that would be me!

I'm Colin Cooper, a seasoned Product Manager with over 15 years of experience in successfully delivering digital products, including extensive time in leadership positions.

I have a natural inclination for mentoring, training, and coaching others, finding immense fulfilment in these endeavours. To ensure the best outcomes, I continuously study and implement best practices in these areas.

No matter the subject at hand, my aim is to foster analytical, tactful, energetic, empathetic, and practical conversations.

I believe in creating an environment that encourages open dialogue and meaningful growth. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and your team.

📈   Who subscribes to ProductPartner?

We primarily collaborate with technology startups ranging from 10 to 250 employees. These startups typically possess early stage funding (Series A/B) and already have dedicated team members handling Product Management responsibilities.

Our objective is not to compete with any existing Product team, Product leader, or product-oriented Founder, but rather to complement their efforts.

Based on our experience, startups of this size often struggle to provide sufficient long-term support and guidance to their less experienced team members. This challenge usually arises due to limited capacity (in terms of time and/or energy), rather than a lack of concern.

Consequently, both the startup and the Product team members may experience frustration. The startup may feel constrained by their Product team, while individual team members may feel unprepared for the expections of their roles.

ProductPartner addresses this issue by collaborating with such organisations, bridging the gap and enhancing the performance of the existing Product team. We alleviate frustration and foster growth, providing the necessary support and fresh inspiration.

🎁   What does ProductPartner include?

The service's content is customised to align with the priorities of both the team and individuals. However, there are three fundamental components that are adjusted accordingly.

01) Takeaway exercises: These exercises are designed to be completed by individual team members in their own time. The exercises vary in style, ranging from information collection and reflection exercises to feedback loops. They all serve as the foundation for our 1-to-1 sessions and the development of personalised growth plans.

02) 1-to-1 sessions: These are regular sessions conducted between individual team members and myself. Through these sessions, we engage in focused discussions, address specific needs, and provide guidance tailored to each person's requirements.

03) Progress tracking: The service includes regular updates on the progress made by each individual. This overview offers a high-level perspective on the areas of focus for each coachee and highlights how we are collectively advancing towards their goals.

Our customised approach, incorporating personalized exercises, 1-to-1 sessions, and progress tracking, has been highly effective. By addressing individual and team priorities, we facilitate significant growth and productivity. Our clients have experienced transformative outcomes, achieving improved performance and increased fulfillment. Our service offers tangible value and meaningful results.

🎯   Which roles can be coached?

ProductPartner coaching is typically allocated to individuals holding Product roles such as CPO, Head of Product, Product Lead, Product Manager and Product Owner.

It is also often extended to support the Product Design function, including: CXO, Head of Design, Product Designer, UX.

Occasionally it is extended to project/operations or technology roles: CTO, Engineering Manager, Engineer, COO, Head of Operations, Operations Manager, Head of Projects, Project Manager.

You will see from our testimonials that we have worked with a vast variety of roles.

🧨   How quickly can you start?

Once you subscribe, the process begins immediately.

Our automated onboarding flow means that your team can get started as soon as quickly as you dictate.

🚀   How long until we will see progress?

ProductPartner offers both immediate benefits and long-term value. When partnering with ProductPartner, you gain access to expert guidance, tailored insights, and custom strategies to address your specific needs. This results in quick wins, heightened team confidence and begins to address open challenges.

However, the true value of our partnership lies in ongoing support and continuous improvement. As our collaboration deepens over time, we gain a thorough understanding of your business, product, and team dynamics. This enables us to offer sustained assistance, tailored interventions, and valuable insights that adapt to your evolving needs.

Through regular interactions, ProductPartner can become a trusted advisor, helping you challenge assumptions, remain accountable, and enhance your product management practice. This long-term relationship equips you with a wealth of strategies, insights, and awareness that contribute to ongoing growth and success.

💬   What is meant by pricing 'p/person' ?

Our service is a recurring subscription. The price of the subscription is based on one person/coachee.

With some organisations, this starts with one person and may grow over time. In other cases, work is with the whole product team from day one. The overall subscription price will be the subscription p/person value multiplied by the number of coachees.

Of course, coaching is most effective when it is applied across the whole team. However, we are mindful that this might not always match the appetite or budget of the recipient organisation.

Please see our Terms of Service for the more intricate details.

❌   What is the cancellation policy?

We are confident that you will benefit from ProductPartner and will not need to cancel. However, we appreciate that this is important information for peace of mind.

Payments are made upfront, covering a set period of time: a month, a quarter or a year. This depends on which subscription you select. All payments will automatically recur, via Stripe.

If you wish to cancel, you just need to inform us via hello@productpartner.io and cancel your subscription within Stripe. Our service will continue to be provided for any outstanding period of your subscription.

Further information can be found within the Termination section of our Terms of Service.

🤨   What local taxes apply?

The payment arrangement is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Our payment partner, Stripe, automatically calculates the payment details based on your business information.

Since we are an EU-based entity, in most instances, other EU-based businesses are not required to pay VAT at point of purchase.

However, we recommend verifying this information with our payment partner by running through the subscription steps in order to understand your unique situation.

💱   Can I subscribe in other currencies?

To cater for our international customer base, we offer off-the-shelf subscriptions in EUR, USD and GBP.

For any other currencies, just send us an email at hello@productpartner.io with your details and we will move forward from there.

💸   Do you have a referral scheme?

Yes! ProductPartner might not be the perfect right now for you, but you may know another team that could benefit.

It is quick and easy to get started.

Referral Agreement terms apply.
