As marketers, we often hyper-focus on improving the bottom funnel, unintentionally overlooking a fundamental aspect of marketing: Messaging 🔊 . Now more than ever is essential to differentiate yourself as technology is becoming more affordable, and the market is overflowing with direct competitors. Having a unique identity is your main lifeline 🏆 . Currently, the issue with SaaS messaging is that many companies present themselves as the only ones doing what they are doing without acknowledging the competition and creating a homogenous market message 💬 . 🤖 Take, for example, a friend who built a factory line robot. Initially, she marketed her product simply as a robot, finding herself amidst a mountain of competitors with a stronger market presence and similar messaging, hence struggling to penetrate the market. However, a shift in her messaging strategy to portray the product as a "self-driving car that is also a robot" significantly turned the tables 🚗 . A minor tweak in messaging changed her brand's trajectory. Remember, your messaging can and should evolve over time as both the brand and market dynamics change. For small SaaS companies, it's critical to be realistic about the time, effort, and money you can invest in marketing 💸 . Emphasizing your unique features and narrowing your messaging strategy can substantially impact if you are perceived as a niche leader 🤵. Brand-building is an inside-out process, with messaging at the heart of your company content strategy ❤️. So, what if your messaging strategy isn't on point? Consider this 👇 💥 Zoom into a niche within your audience. 💥 Seek feedback from your successful customers. 💥 Conduct A/B testing with your messaging across various platforms - your website, sales, and marketing. 🤝 I recently worked with a SaaS company struggling with its messaging and positioning. We created a workshop where we crafted five different messages and later asked their customers, the executives, and the sales and marketing team to identify the most effective one. Surprisingly, there was a significant discrepancy between what their customers and the sales department perceived as the right messaging.
