Relevance, Marketing, Business, Value, Messaging
Summary
Value is always in the eyes of the beholder. We’ll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, Bill Cates reveals the immense importance of relevance--or as he calls it, “radical relevance”--in today’s marketplace. That and more on today’s show.
Bob’s Thought of the Day
We’ll explore:
- Value: “the relative worth or desirability of a thing to the end-user or beholder.”
- Why value is not what WE find to be valuable about our product or service but rather what THEY (the consumer) finds to be of value.
- The need for what we sell to be relevant. Actually, it must be...“radically relevant.”
