My specialty is positioning complex products and services, making them easy to understand and attractive to targeted buyers. The thought that leads my approach to sales is that no one wants to own the things we have to offer — people simply want to buy the things we do for them. Our job as marketers and communicators is to translate the things we do into the language and story of the things we do for others.
