    Do any of these issues sound familiar?
    – Customers complain that you’re too expensive
    – Struggling to turn visitors into customers
    – Confusion about what you do

    You may have a messaging problem.

    Don’t sell the benefits first.

    Here’s what to do instead:

    It can be tempting to immediately sell the benefits of your product.

    But without the proper context, your messaging will fall flat.

    You must connect what the customer cares about → to what you care about.

    Give context first.

    Save this brilliant example from Anthony Pierri:

    01. Identify target customers
    Define your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), understand who you are not for, keep your list of target segments and verticals focused.

    02. Understand the value you offer
    Explore the ‘so what?’ for your customers. Remember, being a ‘market-leading business’ isn’t enough and neither is a long feature list.

    03. Assess competitive alternatives
    Ask your sales team and your customers for their insight on competitors, and get forensic with your desk research. Only worry about competitors you actually have the potential to lose to.

    04. Understand how you differentiate
    Your ‘differentiator’ is likely a combination of things that unlock some new type of value.
    Double down on alignment of what that combination is. And beware of blandification.

    05. Decide on your market category
    Make sure you have an unfair advantage of winning in your chosen marketing category and that it’s authentic to the value you offer. Remember, it might not be the category you expected.

    06. Get your adoption right
    Get rigorous with your adoption process to ensure your positioning is firmly anchored within your business and its teams.
