ANECDOTE

Kid Candy Sales Revealed True Buyers

  • Clay sold chocolate bars as a kid and discovered people bought from the same compassionate purchasers, not for the product.
  • He disguised himself to catch repeat buyers and realized marketing is about 'people like us' more than features.
INSIGHT

Niche Clarifies Your Marketing

  • Choosing a tight niche makes marketing decisions obvious and channels predictable.
  • A vague 'good athletic sock' will fail; a CrossFit sock focuses your audience and tactics.
ADVICE

Lead With Who You Help

  • Don't pitch features; start with who you help using 'We help...' as the opener.
  • Make the line interesting, confident, and follow it with a short case story to invite questions.
