The volume of business information is doubling every three years. As a result, prospects and customers are actually becoming more confused instead of smarter, and they are increasingly unable to distinguish your offering from your competitors'.
The question becomes—is your company a "confuser" or a "clarifier?" Are you adding to the deluge or are you helping customers see clearly what you can do to help them accomplish their objectives. Upon further review 90+% of most marketing messages are all about what we have to sell. As a result, we may be unconsciously contributing to message confusion.
The Customer Message Management approach (introduced in the June 7th seminar, Four Steps to Improving the Sales-to-Customer Conversation) incorporates a very specific set of tools and templates for creating more customer-relevant messages. This follow-up seminar provides you with a detailed tutorial on the tools and templates you can use to make sure your company can compete on clarity and avoid parity in your value propositions.
