The Notion Doc That Landed Me the PM Role in a New Country

Hey friends,

Here’s something I’ve never shared publicly before:

📄 This is the exact Notion doc I sent that helped me land my PM role at Kajabi — before I even had an interview.

It’s not a case study.

It’s not a portfolio.

It’s just a collection of real product ideas based on my experience as a Kajabi customer.

Let me walk you through how this worked — and how you can apply it.

🛠️ The context

I’d just moved to the U.S.

No local network. No shortcuts. Starting fresh.

But I’d been building my own product (Product Academy) on Kajabi, so I had:

• Real user insights

• Clear ideas on how to improve the platform

• A personal reason for wanting the role

When I saw the job post, I messaged an old colleague who knew someone at Kajabi.

“Hey, this PM role looks like a great fit — I’m actually a paying Kajabi customer. Mind connecting me with the hiring manager?”

He made the intro.

But I knew being interested wasn’t enough.

📄 So I sent them this:

👉 Kajabi Creator Tools — 11 Product Ideas

What’s inside:

• A short intro on why I care

• A Loom walkthrough

• 11 product ideas focused on:

  • Real customer gaps

  • New monetisation paths

  • AI opportunities

Nothing flashy.

Just practical ideas that showed I understood their product — and their customers.

⚡ Why this works

Hiring managers don’t want another resume.

They want to know:

“Can this person solve problems I care about?”

This doc answered that question — before they even asked it.

❓Do you need to do this for every job?

No.

This isn’t a volume play.

This is for roles you’re genuinely excited about — where:

• You believe in the product

• You’ve experienced the pain points

• You can speak their language and offer something specific

If writing 3–5 ideas feels like a chore, that’s a signal.

You’re not applying to the right places.

Focus on fewer opportunities, but go deeper.

That’s how you stand out.

🧠 What you can steal from this

Instead of mass applying, try this:

1. Shortlist 3–5 companies you actually care about

2. Use their product, if possible

3. Spot 3–5 product opportunities (speak with their customers; use AI for market research; look at their competitors)

4. Create a Notion doc + Loom walkthrough

5. Send it before they ever ask

Not everyone will respond.

But the right people will notice.
