Great opportunity, Nita! How about a view of the product development 
life cycle with and without your involvement? You can start at the 
beginning, or better yet, start at the end and work it upstream, showing 
how involving you earlier is a benefit to them. A good marketing tactic 
is to be sure you focus on how you contribute to the success of the 
product and therefore their success, and how you ease their pains. Also 
show what relationships you build (with marketing, sales, development, 
QA, customer support, etc.) so they can see how you get the big picture 
as well as the details.
