As a woman it’s something many of us say so much as if it is a filler word, like “um” – apologizing for bumping into someone, for not holding the door wide enough, for seemingly no reason at all when we call, text, or email someone. I had a bad habit of saying the phrase, “I am sorry”. Here’s how I stopped saying it nearly 95% of the time. Most of the time I said I am sorry when I could say something else.

Dominating your competition today is not a “nice-to-have,” it’s a necessity. The battleground for competitive differentiation has shifted. The name of the game used to be having a unique product. Now, that’s nothing more than a ticket to play the game. It’s hardly a winning strategy by itself ( read more about why that is here ). Instead, sales conversations — what salespeople say, do, and write during the sales process — are where the perception of difference is c

In high school, one of my friends was determined to find the perfect time to post her Instagram photos to maximize the amount of likes she got. She was surprisingly scientific about it, posting at different times of the day and jotting down each of her posts’ “likes per minute”. After weeks of testing, she figured out which post time raked in the most likes, and, from then on, she could easily get 200 likes on all her Instagram posts.

Of course, I fail at this fairly often. And…there are a few things I have figured out that have yielded fantastic results. ?

Working with sales to form new content approaches can skyrocket revenue in bold new ways. A few fundamental ingredients are needed to make positive changes. Let’s not sugar coat things. Your sales team hates your content. They don’t think it generates enough high-quality leads. They don’t feel you know the audience as well as they do. And even when you do produce content that sales would love, they don’t know it exists or they can’t find it.

Cost leadership is for the “Amazons of the world.”. Their economies of scale allow them to reap insane profits despite charging razor thin prices. They “make it up in volume.”. Focus is for companies that narrow in on a niche.
