Vague messaging, competitor callouts, and auto dialers topped the list of what not to do. The through-line? Your buyer is allergic to sales. No one owes you attention \u2014 you have to earn it.<\/p>\n<p>Join the conversation in the comments: What&#8217;s the harshest marketing criticism you&#8217;ve received from a security professional?<br \/>\nWatch the full video here: https:\/\/lnkd.in\/gu5pnmuf<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThank you to our partner, Cybersecurity Marketing Society, and to all participants for their honesty.
