Traditional positioning engagements typically happen in one of two ways:
What's missing from both of these approaches is data inputs from the market itself. And without that, your positioning efforts are missing a critical piece of the puzzle.
The core foundation of any B2B business is its position and message to the market. However, many organizations struggle to break through the clutter, differentiate and even identify who their market is and what they want. As a result, organizations are seeing problems with pipeline, close rates, pricing and time to close. MarketingProfs DNA (Defensible Net Advantage) Positioning Consulting helps you:
We help you segment you market and gain a better understanding of your competitors, your category and your customers.
By combining external insight with an internal workshop, organizations can now articulate who their market is, what they want and how your unique differentiation helps make you competitor-proof both now and in the future.
Once the positioning work is complete, we bring it to life with messaging and stories to use consistently throughout your organization.
Our positioning workshops use a proven 9-step framework. We work with you to identify your defensible position in the market and the key messages to attain this position. This approach also uniquely allows you to see how competitors might encroach on your position and identify new segments you might target later.
