		<description><![CDATA[In my experience, most sales messages become part of the noise because they spend too much time on specs, feeds, speeds and process.  How your solution works is not as important as the outcomes it produces.

Talking ad naseum about your e-commerce solution isn&#039;t as effective as simply saying, &quot;We help companies double their online revenues.&quot;

My plea to marketers: stop boring us with your solution details, your corporate bragging points (you can&#039;t all be the &quot;leading provider&quot; for example) and your methodologies and process.  Tell me what business outcomes I can expect .. and if you&#039;re really good ... where you&#039;ve delivered them (aka, references!).]]></description>
