What is the best way to identify best-fit customers for B2B tech products?▼

Identifying best-fit customers for B2B tech products uses behavioral segmentation and real-world elicitation. This approach helps teams discover which buyers resonate most with the product's unique attributes and value themes.

How do I create a positioning canvas and sales story for my go-to-market strategy?▼

Creating a positioning canvas and sales story involves a 10-step process that defines market category, competitive alternatives, and value themes. The completed canvas aligns internal teams and external messaging for the target market.

Can I use this positioning process for a multi-product B2B company?▼

Yes, the positioning process includes clear rules for multi-product companies to avoid conflating product and corporate positioning. It ensures each product maintains distinct market context and value themes.
