No it’s not what you think. I’m talking about people who love the sound of their own voice and try way to hard to make themselves sound smart.
I work for a marketing company, and part of the reason why I do so well is because I am passionate about what I do. When i talk to a client I came make them believe in whatever I am selling them because I honestly believe it as well.
The problem is when marketers don’t know what theyre talking about. I develop a nervous tick in my left eye and my gut stats churning. Every word they spew just reaks of bullshit.
So here’s what you need to do:
- Cut the shit
- Keep it simple
- Keep it short
- Know what your talking about
- Believe what your talking about
That’s my recipe for success right there. Enjoy!
Anyone who goes to school for Marketing learns the cardinal rule:
KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid
Anyone who can’t get that should work retail instead.
HELL the FUCK yes, dude. I work in marketing, too, and I can’t believe how much fluff gets thrown around this industry.
