PM Business Acumen Accelerator

Pro v1.0.0 1 view

Transform product initiatives into executive-ready business cases with financial models, ROI analysis, and CFO/CEO/Board communication frameworks.

What You Get

Get complete financial models, one-page business cases, exec-speak translations, and Q&A preparation tailored to your specific product initiative and target audience.

The Problem

Product Managers struggle to translate product work into business language when presenting to executives. They know their product metrics but can't articulate CAC payback, ROI, or P&L impact in ways that resonate with CFOs, CEOs, and boards.

The Solution

This skill acts as a business acumen coach that transforms product initiatives into compelling business cases. It gathers context about your initiative and business model, teaches relevant financial metrics, builds structured financial models with sensitivity analysis, creates audience-tailored communication materials, and prepares you for tough executive questions.

How It Works

  1. 1 Gather context about business model, metrics, initiative details, and target audience
  2. 2 Teach relevant business metrics (CAC, LTV, payback, unit economics) for the specific business model
  3. 3 Build financial model with revenue impact, cost structure, ROI, and sensitivity analysis
  4. 4 Create audience-specific communication materials (CFO P&L focus, CEO strategy focus, Board unit economics focus)
  5. 5 Generate one-page executive-ready business case with all key numbers
  6. 6 Provide PM-to-exec-speak translation dictionary specific to the initiative
  7. 7 Prepare Q&A with anticipated executive questions and strong numerical answers

What You'll Need

  • Product initiative details (what you're building or changing)
  • Business model type (SaaS, marketplace, e-commerce, enterprise, freemium)
  • Key metrics (MRR/ARR, customer count, pricing, CAC, churn rate)
  • Investment request (budget, headcount, or resources)
  • Target audience (CFO, CEO, or Board)
