Product Marketing 101

Often times I've seen product marketing material and positioning focus on features of the product. This is the easy first step for technical product managers or engineers to jump right into.

Is your buyer or the person you are trying to reach with this content very technical? Do they want to hear detailed specifications or how you are going to make their lives easier?
