Being a product manager in an enterprise context is different. Getting executive buy-in seems impossible, but the secret isn't presenting better - it's timing your asks to align with real challenges they're losing sleep over.

Your perfectly crafted strategy deck means nothing if it lands when leadership are focused on something else. But propose a solution when they're actively wrestling with a related challenge, and suddenly your roadmap becomes their priority.

The best enterprise PMs I know don't focus on scheduling presentations - they prepare to solve problems. They listen in leadership meetings, map pain points, and bring forward their proposals to solve today's headaches, setting up for tomorrow's opportunities.
