Live in your customers world for some time. Understand their pain points, what they like and where they want to be. Capture your findings in a simple document or add it to a PM board - like Trello. Refer to your findings whenever you think about Sales or Product Dev.

Community is the place from where we get motivation, inspiration, and ideas. And it is the place where we showcase our work, knowledge, and achievements and, at the end of the day, get appreciation.
