Actionable Cold Email Tip

Most undifferentiated offers are swimming squarely in the red ocean. This is a low leverage position with maximum saturation, maximum market noise and minimal customer loyalty.

Compare this to a blue ocean offer where there is low competition and maximum differentiation.

Here are 3 things you can do to differentiate your offer to improve your positioning and compete in a market of ‘one’.

#1: Less Work & Complexity

Position your offer so the client has to do less work and less complex so it's easier to start.

Eg. Instead of only delivering leads, you can deliver leads, manage their inbox, nurture the leads, actually generate the meeting opportunity.

#2: Get Them Results Faster

People want things immediately. If the market is typically getting results in 6 weeks and you can do it in 3 weeks, then that's a massive competitive advantage. This helps capture those who want to move fast and not wait around for results.

Eg. Onboarding takes 1 month, automate it so you can deliver everything the client needs in 24 hours. Overload them with high value assets, get them a plan and a checklist of high value items in 48 hours when everyone else is doing across weeks.

#3: Make It Less Risky

Most of the time people think about cost in terms of risk. To solve for this, see what your market does and provide something more attractive.

Eg. Performance offer vs retainer, less cost vs competition

So if you’re generating revenue but can’t yet predictably create 2 dollars from every 1 dollar invested, then watch my new training showing the exact steps to build your own GTM plan using deep AI research. [LINK]
