People will respond to "I promote the site and get traffic to it" in a much better way than they will to geek explanations. We have to do similar things as attorneys: put things in normal words.

Drafting proposals with plans, benefits, costs, etc is a part of my job. Thankfully, my co-workers are smart, and now don't argue with me much, knowing there's always a bunch of references to support me :) Wise communication is probably the best asset an inhouse SEO can have.
