Everybody's putting out releases in rapid iterations - it seems like every month there’s a new release coming out. That means I have to educate everyone in my organization and outside my organization about this new feature functionality all the time (i.e. value proposition, how it works, incorporate it in demos, knowledge base update, etc). People only remember and recall so much, so you have to keep repeating the message again and again. Next month, the same cycle happens again and they forget about what happened last month. That’s probably the most painful part.
