What can you do to make your company stand out from the sea of competitors and make your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/appealing-product\/\">product appeal<\/a> to the right customer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing differentiators are qualities that differentiate your company from industry competitors. Sometimes they are also referred to as uniques or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/unique-value-understanding-michael-porter\/\">unique value<\/a> proposition\u2014basically, they\u2019re what you have to offer to your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to learn how to choose marketing differentiators and make your product\/service appeal to your ideal customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Marketing <strong>Differentiators<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many businesses offer too many products or services in an effort to please everyone. As a result, they don\u2019t stand out at anything. Your sales staff should be able to tell customers what you do better than anyone else and to look elsewhere if they want something different\u2014that&#8217;s where your marketing differentiators come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Southwest Airlines\u2019 three marketing differentiators, under co-founder and CEO Herb Kelleher, were: the lowest fares, on-schedule flights, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/have-more-fun\/\">having fun<\/a>. This didn\u2019t satisfy those who wanted additional services, but Kelleher famously stuck to the company\u2019s core focus, telling dissatisfied passengers, in effect, \u201cSo long.\u201d Stick to your differentiators and don\u2019t apologize for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Choose Your Marketing Differentiators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by listing everything that makes your company, product or service, and people unique. Include your sales and marketing team in this exercise. Ask some of your key customers the same question. Narrow the list to the three qualities that are most important to you and your customers. None of your competitors should provide all three of these services or attributes the way you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a property management firm focused on these marketing differentiators: we offer personalized customer service and sales, we invest in our people, and we have an owner\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your \u2018Proven Process\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In most companies, salespeople try to win over new customers by showing them a lot of numbers, visuals, and charts, which makes the salesperson sound the same as every other sales rep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-sales-pitch\/\">effective sales pitch<\/a> focuses specifically on what your company does and how. You have a distinct way of delivering your product or service every time that produces a consistent result. It\u2019s why your company is successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Define your \u201cproven process\u201d in up to seven steps, present it visually on a single sheet of paper, and give it a name, such as \u201cThe X Company Difference.\u201d Presenting your process this way stands out and increases customer confidence in your ability to deliver. You can introduce it like this: \u201cHere\u2019s how we deliver great results for our customers. We have a proven process called \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create Your \u2018Proven Process\u2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Map out up to seven steps for delivering your service and give each step a name. For example, a financial services company listed the following process steps: Discovery, Solution Presentation 1, Competitive Bidding, Solution Presentation 2, Solution Implementation, Review and Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Add up to five bullet points to each step for salespeople to use as talking points. In the previous example, the first step (Step 1\u2014Discovery) listed the following subpoints: About Us, About You, Defining Your Objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Give your delivery process a name, like the \u201cThe X Company Difference\u201d or \u201cOur Proven Process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4<\/strong>: Have a graphic designer illustrate your process and have it professionally printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your Guarantee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering a guarantee as part of your marketing strategy is a way for you to differentiate yourself by calling attention to a service or quality shortcoming of your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Federal Express emphasized its reliability and speed compared to others by guaranteeing overnight delivery: \u201cWhen it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.\u201d Similarly, Domino\u2019s Pizza guaranteed fast delivery:: \u201c30 minutes or it\u2019s free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To come up with a guarantee for your company, think about what your customers count on you for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t absolutely need a guarantee, but you\u2019ll be more successful if you offer one. You\u2019re already missing business because of some area where you <em>don\u2019t<\/em> have the full confidence of potential customers. If you can get that confidence, you\u2019ll increase your sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides increasing sales, having a guarantee puts everyone in your company on notice that they need to deliver. It also forces you and your leadership team to ensure the company has the necessary capability. Both of these strengthen your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Choose a Guarantee<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It may take time to come up with the right guarantee for your company. <strong>Start by identifying your target customer\u2019s biggest concerns and frustrations<\/strong>. Then develop several guarantees that will bring you more business by addressing these concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get feedback on your proposed guarantees from customers. Choose the most effective one that you can deliver\u2014call it a pledge, commitment, or promise if you don\u2019t like the word guarantee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are marketing differentiators?
