Marketing Connects
Yesterday’s Marketing Supports Sales post reminded me of an old Marketing Connects rant I posted a while back.
The key point is that marketing people get the ball rolling, and keep the ball rolling so that “others can finish”. Marketing people fail if they decide/want to be the star. Their success is directly proportional to how big a star they make of others.
