Marketing Buzzwords Exposed

LOVE this article from SalesHQ – Marketing Buzzword Bingo.  The author shares my disdain for marketing buzzwords.  The article is simply a list of buzzwords with his definition for each one.

Some examples:

Reputation management – controlling information flow to that which I want known

Lifelong value – guess at how much money we would make out of a fictitious customer who stays with us for life, however long that is.

Lifetime value – same guess

Out-sourcing – stuff we have given up doing because we thought it was too hard

In-sourcing – stuff we outsourced that we lost control over and had to do ourselves again to save costs

Intrapreneur- one our people who always seems to be full of ideas that won’t fly in our organization

Critically important – important, perhaps critical

There are many more in the article that will make you laugh, sigh or cry.
