Editor's Notes
Far too many companies are bad at core messaging because:They’re too close to the action to understand how their products and services are being used and whyIt’s not their core competencyTheir vision of the company and its role has evolved
Core messaging is the ability to tell people what your company does the value and benefits from using your products and servicesWhy you’re different from the competition
Lots of competitionConsumers are lazy and time-strapped – unless you tell them quickly and clearly they’ll move onProvides a company with focus and consistency
A lack of focus and directionDifferent parts of the company talking about different themesCustomers are confused about what you do and your valueCompetitors outflank you even if products and services not as good.
