Curse of Knowledge in Marketing

The curse of knowledge refers to the challenge where as a marketer or founder, your detailed expertise in a product can hinder effective communication with prospects. This expertise, while necessary for product creation, can alienate potential customers if not simplified into understandable marketing language. The solution lies in stepping back from your knowledge to communicate simply and sell effectively. Real-life examples demonstrate the impact of overcoming the curse of knowledge in scenarios like freelance writing and editing newsletters.
