In their best-selling book, "Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind,” (http://www.quickmba.com/marketing/ries-trout/positioning) Al Ries and Jack Trout effectively make the case that the most successful companies have the best positioning. Yet most companies lack a clearly defined positioning (and associated messaging) strategy. As a messaging and positioning expert with years of consultative selling experience, I developed a proprietary method for building a company’s core messaging and positioning (Messaging ManifestoTM); then used that foundation to craft derivative content for collateral, selling tools, "load-the-lips" sales training courses, marketing campaigns, web pages and social media. The goal: sell larger transactions, more often, in less time.
