"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat” ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War

1) Strategy before tactics

1a) Narrow your focus

What is ideal?  Values you  Profitable  Refers

Ideal customer • Demographics • Psychographics • Geographics • Behavior

1b) Differentiate and dominate

Ask every customer• What would you Google?• What made you decide to hire us?• What’s one thing we do better?• What could we do better?• Would you refer us?

What people really buy?  Your unique product  Your unique service  Your unique process  Your unique experience  Your unique people  Your unique guarantee  Your unique packaging  Your unique delivery  Your unique solution

Differentiate - Architect  What you do for a living “We help contractors get paid faster”  Complimentary statement “Zoning adjustment compliance system”  Positioning goal/statement #1 Design/Build Architect  Core marketing message “The Contractors Architect”

1c) Package your Business

Image is everything  Conduct a communications audit  How do your name, logo, branding, colors communicate what you do?  How do you “package” your business? • “Brand” vs. “Brand Identity”  What do you name your products or service?  Quality counts – hire a pro
