Defining an Advisor Program
An advisor program is viewed as a strategic partnership where individuals in the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) provide valuable feedback, messaging, and go-to-market insights. These advisors not only promote the company through their networks but also act as a reliable source for gut checks and feedback. The conversation highlights that an advisor program can be a blend of advisory and influencer strategies, where advisors can offer guidance on market trends and product strategy. It is mentioned that some advisors may not have a personal brand but still provide valuable strategic advice. The discussion also touches upon the similarity between an advisor program and a key opinion leader strategy, emphasizing the importance of bringing in product feedback and market insights. The term 'customer advisory board' is mentioned as a comparison to describe the mixed responsibilities of advisors. It is proposed that not all advisor program participants need to be active customers, broadening the scope of potential contributors.
