Generalists vs Specialists
The price you charge becomes more irrelevant when you serve your niche.
Who charges more: a general practitioner or a brain specialist? Specialists solve a specific problem for a specific target group.
How do you become known as a specialist in your field?
Start with the messaging — are you focusing more on FEATURES or BENEFITS?
•‘Features’ highlight what your product/service does
(“our umbrella opens fast!”)
•‘Benefits’ highlight how your product/service improves a person’s life
(“our umbrella keeps you 100% dry from the rain and UV-protected from the sun!”)
See the difference? It’s a subtle but powerful shift. Niche marketing answers not only the “what,” but the “why.”
Why do people crave specialists? Because of the promise of an improved life.
When you focus a targeted market on the benefits you offer, you’re viewed as an expert. And guess what? Expertise and profitability are natural bedfellows.
