Effective communication involves more than just selecting the right vehicle or tool as the medium for your message.
A concise, clear statement of what you or your business is about establishes your marketplace position. It helps people understand what you do– stand for – if a meaningful connection can be made.
Convoluted messages turn even the most adventurous away. No one has time to unravel this ball of string. Not now. Not ever. You have to help them!
Conflicting messages not only confuse those who hear, but make you and your company look disorganized and unsure about your mission. The impression gives rise to question: Is this what you’re doing today? What if this service isn’t needed until tomorrow — where will you be, then?
This is more than the proverbial ‘elevator speech’ you hear so often about. It is so much more — and yet, so much less. Your message should be boiled down into the most concentrated form, resulting in the true essence of what you or your company does. It should be in a simple one-liner, in fact.
Some say this is especially important today, but it always has been so. It’s the hallmark of a durable brand, consistently delivering as promised over the long-haul, earning the title of ‘dependability’ associated with it.
How this evolves, is seeded from the one-line positioning statement: the organization’s focus, purpose and realm is clearly presented. It serves to expedite networking opportunities by cutting to the chase and openly offering a position (mission), a view (philosophy), a specific contact (you/business), product/service (solution).
