Also, colour me dense but I'm a marketer/PM and I can barely understand what's on the landing page. And there's no way that sales needs feature flagging.

I know it's early days but maybe slightly simpler copy where you tell me what feature flagging actually is?

On the flip side, I learned something pretty cool today! :-)

Sales can use feature flags to enable secret features for a customer they’re talking to. For example to demo a not-yet-shipped feature. They can use a feature flag to mark a customer as “enterprise” so they get a different version of the product. Overall, I’ve found it useful for customizing my product for the person I’m in person or on the phone with, without touching code or affecting all users.
