What is positioning?

Positioning is the strategy work of deciding where you fit in a market, what makes you unique and how customers will think about you. Especially relevant for B2B tech startups, positioning may be the most important decision you must make as a business leader - and one which holds the greatest leverage for your long-term growth. Properly developed, thoughtful positioning helps you pull away from competitors and makes it easier for customers, investors, and markets to choose you.

Why should you take this step?

Shorten sales cycles; increase revenue

Build trust with customers; out-perform competition

Increase confidence with investors; improve valuations

Retain and attract key talent

Why shouldn't you wait?

Because time is money, and credibility. Burn rate is real; markets are brutal in their assessment of companies that don’t declare their market position, or worse pivot multiple times to find a fit.

Passionate about Growth

Passionate about Positioning Companies to Win

Start-Up Champion. I spent more than 25 years leading marketing for 8 tech start-ups; refining my skills for helping companies thrive in complex markets. I developed a passion for making the complex simple, so customers, markets and investors care - in a word positioning.

Focused on Success. As I look at the failure rate for startups - whatever you decide is a valid ratio, 60-90% - I am not OK with it. My passion and the reason I started GrowthShift is to help early stage technology companies compete and grow - and increase the success rate!

Simplify Strategy. As a startup marketing consultant, I am committed to simplifying positioning & strategy, so critical in early stage tech.  If I can shift that thinking, together, we can help more startups grow; help more tech founders tell their story, and change industry.
