Is our whole marketing department a useless mass of coffeedrinkers?
Useless mass reporting!
Start-Up business who could not make a single sales!

In our company this department is the main driving force of our business.

Isn't it worrying that the propaganda department is the main driving force?
"John Sculley came from PepsiCo. They would change their product once every 10 years. If you were a product person you couldnt change the course of that company very much. So who influenced the success of PepsiCo? The sales and marketing people. They were the ones who ran the company.
"It turns out the same thing can happen in technology companies that get monopolies, like IBM or Xerox. If you were a product person at IBM or Xerox, so you make a better copier or computer. So what? When you have monopoly market share, the company's not any more successful.
"So the people that can make the company more successful are sales and marketing people, and they end up running the companies. And the product people get driven out of the decision making forums, and the companies forget what it means to make great products. The product sensibility and the product genius that brought them to that monopolistic position gets rotted out by people running these companies that have no conception of a good product versus a bad product.
"They have no conception of the craftsmanship that's required to take a good idea and turn it into a good product. And they really have no feeling in their hearts, usually, about wanting to really help the customers."
Drunk enough to find the
"I love you"
Drunken rambling thread.
Copywrite that ass right quick.
