Description
Baking soda has been a key background character in most of our lives. It’s the ingredient you forget that ruins a batch of cookies, or you accidentally knock it over in your fridge, and you might even brush your teeth with it. And when it’s not being googled over whether or not it’s interchangeable with baking powder, it’s doing the work to keep our lives clean and odorless. Baking soda...kind of does it all? And the thing is, when we learn it does something new—we believe it. How on Earth did Arm & Hammer figure that out?Well, it’s because they mastered positioning. From cooking to laundry, baking soda is infinitely useful. And once that was discovered, Arm & Hammer went into full force dominating several industries. But how can the rest of us do the same with our products? April Dunford, Founder and CEO of Ambient Strategy, knows how. And lucky for us, she’s sharing the secrets of how to become champions at positioning and getting customers to obsess over our products.--------"Customer experience is not the thing that brings you through the door.
