    As an engineer who hated marketing, started my own business, which subsequently failed due to my lack of understanding for the importance and proper execution of the marketing mission… I now have a deep respect, and appreciation of a well-run marketing function.

      I have a great business name and word of mouth carries me.

      I feel like if you need marketing it’s because you have too many competitors all doing the same thing ie: no one needs your business.

      If a business can not sustain itself without marketing, then the product is possibly not worth having.
