From Confusion to Clarity: JD Mosley-Matchett on the Message Shift That Turns Unclear Offers into Scalable, Trust-Building Growth for Education Founders

Josh Chernikoff

Most education founders and EdTech leaders think their problem is marketing.

But sometimes, the real issue is something more critical: Clarity

If your message isn’t clear, your market stops listening, no matter how brilliant your solution is.

That was the hard truth J.D. Mosley-Matchett, PhD had to face.

As the Founder & CEO of InforMaven.AI, JD’s mission was bold: help underfunded, overregulated colleges and universities harness the power of AI to operate more efficiently.

But even her biggest supporters couldn’t answer the question: “What exactly does she do?”

After joining accelerators and business programs, she kept hearing the same feedback:

     “You’re clearly brilliant, but we don’t get it.”

Everything changed when she joined the EdSales Elevation Experience.

For the first time, JD wasn’t trying to figure it out alone. Surrounded by other education founders and guided by the Signature Solution framework, she slowed down, wrestled through the hard questions, and built total clarity around her offer.

It wasn’t easy, there were moments of doubt and tough feedback, but she stuck with it. And that discipline turned confusion into confidence.

Her message finally clicked. Her communication connected. And for the first time, clients instantly understood the transformation she was offering.

Because clarity isn’t a marketing skill, it’s a sales weapon.
