And before you say your product or service, remember that every company out there offers a product or service as a baseline. You need to find something around your product—your customer service, your message, your whole vibe—that will make you stand out in a sea of similar services. What’s unique about your company? What inspired you to start it in the first place?
In this episode, Brandon explains why having a “quality” product isn’t nearly enough in today’s market, lists the myriad of other ways you can stand out from your competitors, and breaks down how you can figure out your strongest selling point.
