How to hit the mark with your messaging and offers

    Mapping their problems into your messaging hits the target

    Do all the companies within your target vertical care about solving the same things?

    No.

    Not to over-simplify this...but let's take plumbers as an example.

    Segment 1: Single truck plumbers with 1-2 employees

    Typical Problems: Ineffective lead gen and poor intake process

    Segment 2: Multi-truck plumbing companies

    Typical Problems: Inadequate leadership, lack of systems, employee turnover

    Segment 3: Multi-location plumbing companies

    Typical Problems: Lack of data and analytics, disconnected systems, cash flow challenges 

    Here's the thing:

    If you're pitching a Segment 3 plumber with coaching for their intake process (a Segment 1 problem), you'll be missing the mark.

    Instead, map your positioning, messaging, and offer to the problems your buyers care about.

    Question to ponder:

    👉 Are we mapping our messaging and offer to the right target segments?

     

    Have a great day!
