Buy-in from Management: In many cases this is the toughest sell and these guys control the resources. Management
can be extremely risk adverse and not ready to make changes. Politics can come into play, so you must understand them. Have the data, the desire and the direction, and your management will believe in your product.
Buy-in from Sales: The sales team is probably the 2nd most important sell. The sales teams can make or break your product. They must believe the product will solve their customers' problems and the product is priced appropriately. You need to convince them that you understand their customers and provide them the data they need to sell the product.
Buy-in from your Users: Your users should always come first. Listen to your users to set the product vision and get their feedback early and often in the development process. Successful product managers let the users drive the product and obtain their buy-in early and often.
