Nobody Buys Your Difference If You Can't Name It

You're good at what you do. Probably better than the person getting the work. So why aren't you getting it? This week I get real about differentiation. Why your product isn't your brand. Why most people can't explain what makes them different, and why the answer is almost never the thing you sell. 

If you don't know where your difference actually sits, I've built a free 5-layer breakdown of brand so you can see which layer you're missing. Grab the Brand Container here
