Marketing Talent Test: You need to promote a Product you don't trust. What are the first 3 questions you would ask to BRAND Manager?

You need to look in your mindset without considering your point of view (mainly, ok we know the product is not made for you), but as Product Marketing Director, the company you work for has developed this product. Let me know why I would need to hire you.

I never - and won't ever - promote a product that I don't use or not comfortable with because I don't want to deceive people.  If ever I come for an interview for a Sales or Marketing job, I first would want to study the product. If I am not convinced about it, I won't pursue working for the company.  I'm in the Advertising profession, too, and I want to upheld Truth in Advertising at all times.

My conditions for accepting the job will be:

1.  What is the product?

2.  May I study about it to familiarize? If I am not convinced with what I'll discover about the product, then I should be honest about it.  I cannot live and work lying to people.
