This, unfortunately, is my job. I saw some presentation for one of our new products (can't say which ofc) but the presentation included how we should focus sales on x because high profile influencers like Joe Rogan were promoting it and so it's in a viral boom phase. I hate it so much, but I do genuinely like the people I work with and have good rapport with my clients, but there is certainly times where I just feel like I am selling snake oil.
I had someone asking for something to help with a certain ailment, to which I broke and had to just tell them "Sounds like your customer actually urgently needs anti-biotics and that is a life threatening affliction, we are not doctors and they need to go to urgent care yesterday".
