Tech Companies Are So Bad At Pitching. Why?

 

In this episode of #MediaSnack we vent a little about the consistently underwhelming experience of seeing companies try and pitch technology solutions to marketers. 
We make three simple recommendations to help any company to improve the way they sell technology ideas.
