Build Feedback PM Skills — Free →6 Channels
Support tickets — unfiltered voice of frustrated users
In-app feedback widgets — low-friction, low-signal
NPS surveys — comparable over time, shallow reasoning
User interviews — highest depth, highest cost
Sales call recordings — prospects tell you what you don't do yet
Community / social — vocal minority; weight with care
5-Step Workflow
Tag everything — every piece of feedback gets a category at intake
Quantify pain — rank by frequency × severity × segment
Synthesise weekly — one document, top themes, linked examples
Close the loop — tell users when you shipped something they asked for
Guard against the loudest voice — one angry enterprise ≠ the market
FAQ
How often should PMs read raw support tickets?
Weekly, minimum. Read 20 tickets yourself before looking at summaries. Raw tickets carry signal that tagging and dashboards flatten. PMs who skip this develop a polished but wrong model of what users actually struggle with.
