English term
watered down
English to Spanish
Marketing
Internet, e-Commerce
Network Marketing
People are so desperate to get customers they try to sell to everyone or coach everyone and then they become watered down, not unique individuals that no one is attracted to work with.
Encontré watered down como diluir, pero al combinarla con el resto no me suena congruente. Quisiera "escuchar" opiniones. Gracias.

despersonaliza
Modifico un poco la de Adriana:
"...de venderle o de coaccionar a todo el mundo y entonces se despersonalizan [despersonaliza su trabajo], pierden su individualidad, al punto que nadie se siente atraído a trabajar con ellas."
"...de venderle o de coaccionar a todo el mundo y entonces se despersonalizan [despersonaliza su trabajo], pierden su individualidad, al punto que nadie se siente atraído a trabajar con ellas."
