I picked something I genuinely use every day, which helped, but I spent too long gushing about why I liked it and not enough time on the actual launch plan.
Choose a product you genuinely use and understand deeply, ideally one with network effects or social elements that align with LinkedIn's ecosystem. Structure your answer by first articulating the product's core value and why you love it, then walk through a hypothetical launch using a clear GTM framework (e.g., positioning, target audience, channels, metrics). Show product sense by identifying a specific user problem and how the launch would validate and scale the solution.
Pro tip: Anchor your launch plan in LinkedIn's unique strengths—professional identity, network graph, and B2B distribution—to demonstrate you understand how to leverage the company's assets rather than proposing a generic GTM playbook.
Pick a product you love and clearly state its core value proposition and the user problem it solves. Explain why it resonates with you personally to show authenticity.
Define the ideal early adopter segment and craft a positioning statement that differentiates the product. Consider how this audience overlaps with LinkedIn's professional user base.
Outline a phased launch (e.g., alpha, beta, GA) and specify channels (e.g., LinkedIn feed, groups, influencers, email). Explain how you'd leverage LinkedIn's platform for distribution and virality.
Define key metrics (e.g., activation rate, retention, NPS) and a feedback loop to iterate post-launch. Tie metrics back to the product's value proposition and business goals.
