When I partner with new clients, the first lesson is simple 👇 👇 👇 Positioning is a process. It’s not set in stone, especially not at the beginning. You want to test, experiment, and adapt your positioning in iterations, just like you test, experiment, and adjust your product in iterations. Just launched v1.26 of your product?  ↪You should also release version v2.47 of your messaging. Why? Because early on, you are mainly working on assumptions. But every customer interaction and piece of product analytics gives you new data. 👉 This data is gold - using it, you can improve your product and your #positioning & messaging. A good product will help you convert your users. So will good positioning. Keep an eye on conversion rates, customer feedback, and how well your messaging resonates. Great products are great because they are presented in the right way. That doesn't happen overnight. It happens gradually in iterations. Iterate positioning just like you iterate your product development. When did you last check whether your messaging still holds for your product? #marketing #startups #messaging

🌟 Day 3: The Value of Customer Feedback in Shaping Success 🌟 Observation: Many founders, especially in the early stages, tend to push their product or service to market based on their own vision. However, they often overlook the critical role that customer feedback plays in refining and evolving their offering. In the rush to get things done, the voice of the customer can sometimes be ignored, leaving untapped opportunities for growth and improvement. Perspective: Listening to customer feedback is more than just a validation step—it's a pathway to innovation. Founders who actively incorporate user insights into their strategy are better equipped to meet real-world needs, enabling them to enhance their product-market fit and drive long-term success. Example: I’ve seen a startups that, after launching a product, felt confident in their solution but struggled with user engagement. Instead of assuming their product was perfect, they decided to take a step back and engage deeply with their customers. The feedback they gathered revealed small but critical adjustments that significantly improved the user experience. As a result, their product adoption rates soared, and they secured a more loyal customer base. #Entrepreneurship #StartupJourney #Growth #Observations

There is oft-repeated advice to sell and market by “𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀”. But this is only partially true. Understanding the difference between those makes smarter decisions! ↳ 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 that work in the background without user initiation ↳ 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 those that require active user initiation or engagement You definitely want to mention benefits (i.e. desired outcomes your product creates), but these benefits have to come from somewhere. And your feature is where these benefits come from. In other words, You must mention the specific mechanisms (i.e. features) by which the desired benefits are delivered. Knowing the difference helps you: ➤ Direct audience-focused communication ➤ Attention-grabbing benefits ➤ Connection-building strategy ➤ Effective sales and pitches ➤ Features make those benefits happen.

You can almost draw the "growth tactics" path for most startups because most of them won't deviate from the proven models that worked in other startups (referral loops, onboarding experiments, offers & discounts, tactical campaigns...etc) There are 3 problems that you should be aware of when thinking about growth: 1- What worked somewhere else doesn't mean that it's necessarily going to work for you. Tailor the tactic with your type of product and ICP & keep extermentations at the core of everything you do. 2- Keep sustainability in mind. Growth isn't just about 2X, 5X, and 10X's, it's about having a repeatable, scalable, viable distribution. 3- Fix your whole customer experience (CX) not just UX. Growth means nothing if you can acquire but can't keep customers. #Growth

Customer-centric startups consistently outperform their competitors by prioritizing the needs and experiences of their customers. By deeply understanding your target audience—through data analytics, feedback, and user research—you can tailor your products or services to solve their specific problems. This leads to higher customer satisfaction, loyalty, and retention rates. Customer-centric companies build strong relationships by offering personalized experiences, responsive customer support, and continuous improvement based on feedback. Additionally, this focus drives innovation, as startups that listen to their customers are more likely to develop features that meet real market demands. The result is a sustainable competitive advantage that helps build a loyal customer base and fuels long-term growth. #CustomerCentric #BusinessGrowth #StartupSuccess #CustomerLoyalty #Entrepreneurship www.techsurge.com.au
