Hey [Name],
Quick exercise - go to your website right now.
I'll wait.
See phrases like these?
Congrats - you have the same website as every other B2B company.
And your prospects? They don't care about your "synergistic solutions." They care about one thing:
Can you solve their specific problem better than the other options?
Forget the 50-page analysis. Here's all you need:
You're at a bar. Someone asks what your company does. You have 30 seconds before they lose interest.
What do you say?
Not your website copy. The REAL explanation.
Example:
✗ "We deliver enterprise-grade authentication solutions leveraging cutting-edge biometric technology"
✓ "We help companies stop password headaches by letting employees log in with their face"
Which would grab YOUR attention?
Pull up your Slack. Find out why customers ACTUALLY chose you:
These real reasons > any positioning statement.
Check your last 10 deals:
One client discovered 7/10 deals came from companies that just raised funding. That insight changed everything.
What do you suck at? Really.
Why does this matter? When prospects bring these up (they will), you need to be ready. Plus, you can target accounts who don't care about your weaknesses.
Stop saying:
✗ "Customer-focused approach"
✗ "Innovative technology"
✗ "Experienced team"
Start saying:
✓ "Only one with no IT involvement"
✓ "50% cheaper - no sales team"
✓ "Dedicated Slack channel with our engineers"
See the difference? Specific beats generic every time.
Tomorrow: How to find target accounts in 30 minutes (without overthinking it).

P.S. - If you're thinking "I'll do this later," you won't. Set a timer for 20 minutes and knock it out now. Your future self will thank you.
