Product School For Founders: User & Buyer Personas with John Peltier

In today’s episode of Product School for Founders we have John Peltier, Product Manager at The Network in Atlanta, Georgia.

John is going to teach us about buyer and user personas and the impact they can have on our product’s design, strategy and success.


About User & Buyer Personas

Personas are a powerful tool to better understand the buyer and user of a product. Insights obtained from persona development and analysis can drive optimal interaction design and user interface for the people that will use the product, as well as helping to strategize the optimal feature set to win over the buyer. The trick is to create living personas by synthesizing market data and observation of in-house subject matter experts to build these strategic tools as quickly as possible. In this session, we’ll review the basics of user and buyer personas and lead a discussion of your use of personas, and of ways to build personas that others can put into practice after attending the session.
