This is not a comment on the actual item or service you sell but in how you present it. If you’re not using your audience’s language and talking to a need they’ve identified, you’re fighting a marketing battle, and you need to change that today. Here’s why: Years ago, I worked with a client who used a term I had never heard before. She wasn’t selling to NASA or some market ladened in acronyms.
