Selling products you have
Never mind their plug for a paid workshop. Dont know how it is, but I liked the article. Link and detail below.
It's easier to sell products that don't exist because they can do anything buyers want. Unfortunately, no one makes money selling products you don't have. Here are three ways to get better at selling products you have and grow revenue faster.

Mind maps
Seen on an email thread (Couldnt find who originally sent it)
Ways you can use a mind map:
* As a dashboard for all your current projects, then link out to detailed documents and add task, date and resource information to topics.
* To help organize and flesh out the structure of any written document - an article, proposal, report, brief, lecture, etc.
* To help you run more effective meetings by arranging the information in a more actionable way faster.
* To get ideas flowing at the very beginning stages of planning or brainstorming - the visual display allows you to see connections you didn't consider before.
Additional Product Manager specific uses include:
* Figuring out your strategy
* Creating business cases
* Capturing and organizing market research
* Brainstorming product & campaign ideas
* Developing launch & campaign plans
* Tracking competition
* Gathering product requirements
* Conducting interviews (e.g. efficient note-taking)
It can still be useful even if you are the only one creating maps in your organization.
Maps can often be good presentation tools that give others a diagrammatic representation of your points.
Furthermore, maps can be exported into different formats that people are familiar with, like Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF.
