My job is to work with potential customers and help them decide whether (or not) ProdPad is right for them. I make sure they have everything they need in order to make a decision, I show them examples of what the tool can do and I answer any questions they might have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-did-you-do-before-prodpad\">What did you do before ProdPad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My background is in technology sales. I&#8217;ve also worked in marketing too.

We use it to manage all our company activities too. I think it&#8217;s brilliant for showing transparency across the whole company. I can see what ideas the dev team are working on, planned marketing campaigns, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/features\/roadmaps\/\">company roadmap <\/a>&#8211;  I can see the exciting plans, right there and in front of me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-favourite-time-wasting-app\">Favourite time-wasting app?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WhatsApp. That&#8217;s where I get to see pictures of my gorgeous Brazilian grandson.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sharons-meet-the-team-808x1024.png\" alt=\"Sharon's grandson, who lives in Brazil.\" class=\"wp-image-6764\" width=\"404\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sharons-meet-the-team-808x1024.png 808w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sharons-meet-the-team-237x300.png 237w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sharons-meet-the-team-768x973.png 768w, https:\/\/www.prodpad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Sharons-meet-the-team.png 988w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sharon&#8217;s grandson, who lives in Brazil.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-most-famous-person-you-ve-ever-met\">Most famous person you\u2019ve ever met?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I saw Kasabian&#8217;s Serge and Tom in the departure lounge at Warsaw Airport.
