Sounds very exciting & nice, but is that really all that nice?
Marketing according to ignorant people ( with respect to marketing ) is just about those who are attending meeting/conferences with suits & blazers.
This was what I got to know when yesterday a person I was talking to said ' Marketing .. it's just soo simple, not much work & all glamour ' , that was so ridiculous!! Initially it really perturbed me but then later i did realise that I was talking to a person who does not know how businesses work, a person who is highly influenced by people around who are very short sighted !!
I did try to tell him that both marketing & development is equally important but i could guess that he was nowhere near understanding that..
Also from what I could see in him is that he does not want to differentiate himself at all, does not want to be unique, that instinct was very much lacking in him.
On the other side people talk about learning, unlearning & re-learning, talk about change management but why does this NOT happen from childhood for an individual, if an individual is taught to think rationally & also see the other facets of anything ( i mean to say pros & cons ) would it not be awesome?
But I think some people have a mindset where they would just not want to change, or do they want to really but are unable to?
But being into Sales & marketing, 1 thing is for sure, the way I see things probably has been totally different. Also I see that appreciating, empathizing people is so very important and also being unbiased towards any person/situation.
Sometimes it becomes tough to handle that but that's where the unlearning & re-learning happens i guess!!
