Positioning

Al Ries, Jack Trout

Why I recommend it

This helps explain why customers choose one product over another. A clear position gives them a reason they can remember.

What it changed in my thinking

Trying to be everything to everyone makes it hard to explain why someone should choose you.

Who it’s useful for

Founders, product leaders, and marketers.

A tension or limitation

A clear promise only goes so far. The product still has to deliver on it.
