Is it necessary for a marketer to have a technical education?

Question

Marketing

For example, a salesperson in the IT field must have knowledge of a programmer in order to have an idea about his product?

Answer 1

No education, but technical knowledge would be very useful for writing self-written statistics analysis scripts, it's good to know the basic statistical methods of distribution, a bit of probability theory, etc. Of course, if this is a real marketing analyst, and not a leaflet designer.
