Sara Gordon: The Seven Deadly Sins & Positioning

Understanding what drives your customers to take action is a cheat code to success. If you know which of the seven deadly sins your product addresses, you can use that knowledge to differentiate your offering.

Sara will show how companies with a deep understanding of their customers’ primary emotions – Sloth (Uber eats); Lust (Tinder); Greed (Amazon); Gluttony (Brewdog, McDonalds); Envy (Instagram); Wrath (X); Pride (LinkedIn) – achieve powerful market positions.

She will explain how, starting with understanding your customer’s ‘why?’,  you can position your offering effectively so the people that matter understand why your solution fits their needs. She’ll show you how as well as flagging the common positioning mistakes and why the key to positioning is execution.
