♦️ How clear positioning creates a natural “flow state” inside your business
|
Having clarity around your brand’s positioning has a hidden upside. We usually talk about how it helps you win clients. It raises your perceived value. It makes buyers choose you over others. But it also changes things inside the business. You know what they say. Constraints breed creativity. A blank page is scary because you can write anything. There is no constraint. But once you pick a topic, ideas start flowing. You get focused. You get creative. Clear positioning does the same. It gives the business constraints. Good ones. It kills the “blank page” problem that teams face when there’s no direction. Because when you decide who you serve, you also decide who you won’t. When you define how you differentiate, you shut the door on paths that don’t fit. Teams stop pulling in different directions. Leaders stop chasing shiny objects. Everybody rows in one direction. It creates alignment. That’s how you move faster, execute better, and grow easier. Because that one decision removes the noise and sharpens the focus.
When there’s no internal alignment around your brand’s positioning, things break inside the business. Teams get confused. Everyone has their own version of what the company is, who it’s for, and why it matters. So they work in different directions. Marketing says one thing, sales says another, and delivery executes something else. Messaging gets messy. Resources go to random ideas that don’t play to your strengths. Decisions get slower because there’s no constraint. Every choice turns into a debate. And growth stalls. Because when people aren’t rowing in the same direction, the boat doesn’t move. That’s why positioning is not just about the perception of the market. It’s also about the perception of the employees. When that’s aligned, things get easier. You move with less friction, more focus, and get better results. So don’t see positioning only as a marketing exercise. It’s that one decision that creates a natural flow state inside your business. “We’re in a competitive industry, and it’s hard to stand out from the noise.”Started noticing weak positioning is already costing you sales?

Most marketers think social proof sells. But it doesn’t. It reassures. And this difference changes how to do messaging right. Imagine going to a B2B brand’s website. You’d like to figure out what they do. But you struggle. Because first, you read an aspirational mission statement that means nothing. Then they bombard you with social proof: “We helped this many clients.” “We generated this much revenue.” You keep scrolling to find an explanation of what the hell this brand does. But no chance....
You can’t differentiate your brand by using what’s expected. Let me explain with an example. Go to 20 management consultancy firm websites. You’ll see that they claim to be different by providing high-quality work. Or by bragging about years of experience. Go to 20 CRM software websites. You’ll see that they claim to be different by providing pipeline tracking or email integration. But here’s the problem. These are expected by buyers. All management consultancy firms are expected to deliver...
Who wouldn’t want less competition in the market? How easy everything would be. You could charge much more. Clients would stick with you longer, maybe forever. And you’d grow like there is no tomorrow. It’d be a dream come true for every executive. Well, there are ways to reduce your competition legally. The obvious option is to buy them out. But that’s not possible for most companies. And you can only buy so many of them. So leaving that out, there are two ways. The first is by reducing your...
