Thought Tweet #673

by Rick Baker
On Feb 13, 2013

Thought Tweet #673 Talents are not what we do; Talents are the 'substances' that define us and make us unique.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Talents are the numbers of our personal combination lock; talents are the keys to our desires and action-drivers.

Talents stand to explain why we do what we do.

Thought Tweet #672

Thought Tweet #672 What appears to us as a treasure of difference often appears to others as a trash of similarity.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Marketing and sales people tend to think their products and services are different, i.e., holding a differential advantage over the products and services of their competitors. The marketing and sales people 'treasure' those differences.

Meanwhile, clients confirm they see little difference in the offerings of their suppliers; they see much similarity.

So, when we go on about the differences in our products and services and the advantages and benefits those differences bring to our clients we need to make sure we are not trash talking.

Thought Tweet #668 Would you rather make things convenient for your clients or deliver unique value to your clients?

Convenience is important...we need to do what we can to make it easy for clients to buy.

Unique value is tough to invent and deliver...most products and services are readily commoditized
