Marketing managers are supposed to keep their heads on straight. Let other people drink the Kool-Aid; your job is to converse with customers, not bomb them with features and benefits.
Nobody cares about your products or how cool they’ll be if they buy them. They care about their problems and whether they can trust you to help fix them.
Sorry, but that’s the deal.
