TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Having done sales before, I can assure you that everyone in a company,
from the lowly janitor on up, has a stake in the success of the
company....technical writers included. If the material you produce is
consistently high quality and useful, then sales and marketing can use
it to promote the product. The better the documentation, the clearer
the GUI, the more useful the Help, the easier it is to sell the
product...and without sales you have no company. So, put away that fear
and start working with the sales reps....they can give you a lot of
feedback on what the customers are really looking for in documentation.
