# How to position a product to a skeptical target audience. # How to market a high involvement product with significant downsides. # How to sell a product through a large salesforce (Army recruiters) without previous sales, marketing or branding experience. # How to react when the media is driving more communications about your product than you are. # The long term repercussions of pushing a product on the target instead of creating pull demand. # How a classic packaged goods background can prepare you for diverse marketing experiences.
