The marketing world is full of platitudes. New marketers that don't know any better eat them up. The reason platitudes are so insidious is that they seem logical.

For example, "people only buy from people they know, like, and trust." Sounds true, right? But if you really stop and think about the things you buy, you'll see that it's not that simple.

Phony goo-roos know how effective this stuff is, and they use it to line their pockets with cash from those that don't know any better.
