The Holy Trinity of Technology Marketing
Answering the Three Questions that will earn you the right to sell…
Technology marketers (especially the ones who live in agencies) love to make marketing more complex than it really is.

3. Why should I believe you?
That’s it. The whole enchilada of technology marketing.
If you can answer these three questions well, you’ll have done the hardest and most important part of your job. You will also have made the other parts of your job a lot easier.
This short paper is about The Holy Trinity. Hope you like it:

“Truly pleasant’? Even for a bot that’s shit. And it’s not even about blogging. And I hate Pokemon. And I broke your backlink so you get no Google juice from us. Hah.
