And, what are positioning statements? 72% of businesses are more likely to buy from thought leaders, people or businesses that are recognised as an expert in their marketplace. You need this to make your Ideal customers love you! Also, if you know who you are and make it obvious to your Ideal customers then you’ll be seen as the leader in your space. Differentiate and specialise is the advice you’ll get from all top business consultants.
