* I - Influential

* D - Discipline
Marketers are a disciplined and marketing savvy people and are willing to do the things that "failures often refuse to do."
* S - Selective

* E - Enthusiastic
Enthusiasm is the "E" factor in marketing. For the true-blue marketer, marketing is a calling and not just an ordinary job. It's an act of service. How excited are you about your product or service ? If the "E" factor is absent, then it is probably time to do some soul searching to rediscover the true value and purpose of marketing.
