The right message for the right audience

When you’re selling a highly technical product or service, the message has to articulate the outcome of using it. Sales or seed funding, the value needs to be universally understood. Especially by the people who write the checks.

We help with that.

 

Let's Talk

What

Teach us what you do. We want to know everything. We’ll listen, we’ll ask questions, study documents, look at demos. We review you’ve got to make sure we understand.

Who

Let’s figure out who we’re talking to. There will be more than one audience – we’ll help you sort them out. This will allow us to help you target the right message to the right people.

Why

People who buy or buy in will have different motivations. We need to segment them. Once we’re clear on why they want it, we have the foundation for your message.

“A use case demonstrates the technology.

A business case is a reason to invest in it.”

It’s not always easy to get the message out there.

Putting together a messaging strategy involves choosing the tools you’ll use for outreach. Use these statistics to create a cohesive plan. Mix and match for your business model and target audience.
