5 passos

Julgo que estes 5 passos são úteis para muitas empresas.
"#1. Start with a big, undeniable change that creates stakesNo matter what you’re selling, your most formidable obstacle is prospects’ adherence to the status quo. [Moi ici: Recordo logo as forças da inércia(hábito) e da ansiedade que introduzem fricção que bloqueia ou dificulta a mudança] Your primary adversary, in other words, is a voice inside people’s heads that goes, We’ve gotten along just fine without it, and we’ll always be fine without it.
How do you overcome that? By demonstrating that the world has changed in such a fundamental way that prospects have to change, too.
...
#2. Name the enemyLuke fought Vader. Moana battled the Lava Monster. Marc Benioff squared off against software.
One of the most powerful ways to turn prospects into aspiring heroes is to pit them against an antagonist.
...
Naming your customer’s enemy differentiates you — not directly in relation to competitors (which comes off as “salesy”), but in relation to the old world that your competitors represent. To be sure, “circle-slash” isn’t the only way to do that, but once you indoctrinate audiences with your story, icons like this can serve as a powerful shorthand.
...
#3. Tease the “Promised Land”In declaring the old way to be a losing path, Drift plants a question in audiences’ minds: OK, so how do I win?
It‘s tempting to answer that question by jumping right to your product and its capabilities, but you’ll be wise to resist that urge. Otherwise audiences will lack context for why your capabilities matter, and they’ll tune out.
Instead, first present a glimpse of the “Promised Land “— the state of winning in the new world. Remember, winning is not having your product but the future that’s possible thanks to having your product:
...
However you do it, your Promised Land should be both (a) desirable (obviously) and (b) difficult for prospects to reach without you. Otherwise, why do you exist?
.
#4. Position capabilities as “magic” for slaying “monsters”Once audiences buy into your Promised Land, they’re ready to hear about your capabilities. It’s the same dynamic that plays out in epic films and fairy tales: We value Obiwan’s gift of a lightsaber precisely because we understand the role it can play in Luke’s struggle to destroy the Death Star.
So yes, you’re Obiwan and your product (service, proposal, whatever) is a lightsaber that helps Luke battle stormtroopers.
...
#5. Present your best evidenceOf course, even if you’ve laid out the story perfectly, audiences will be skeptical. As they should be, since your Promised Land is by definition difficult to reach!
So you must present evidence of your ability to deliver happily-ever-after. The best evidence is stories about people—told in their own voices—who say you helped reach the Promised Land:"
