I think we often build sales and marketing materials more for ourselves, our competitors, or our egos than we do our customers.

Sometimes we are more concerned with our stuff looking more “whizbang” than our competitors, that we forget to address the needs of our customers.

Sometimes we forget that our customers don’t know our lingo. Sometimes we just forget what is most important to our customers.
