INSIGHT

Expertise Isn’t Enough

  • Democratization of expertise means many can claim competence, so expertise alone no longer differentiates.
  • You must stand out through positioning, not just skill claims.
ADVICE

Declare What You Stand For

  • Name what you stand for and against and adopt a clear point of view to force choices.
  • Be willing to say no and accept trade-offs so ideal clients self-select in.
ADVICE

Build Positioning Elements

  • Create a signature method, pricing posture, and evidence pattern to prove your position.
  • Choose or create a category and lean on it so buyers compare you correctly.
