Hi ,
You ever notice how everyone says they “help” someone do something?
“I help founders grow.”
“I help teams perform better.”
“I help leaders lead.”
Yawn.
We’ve read it a thousand times.
We’ve skipped it a thousand more.
It’s not that those people aren’t good at what they do.
It’s that they sound exactly like 99 others in our feed.
No edge. No flavor. No hook.
Sameness is the enemy.
In a sea of “I help…” profiles and polite elevator pitches,
it’s nearly impossible to stand out — even if you’re great at what you do.
Prospective clients don’t go deep.
They skim.
They scroll.
They forget.
And if you don’t get their attention, you don’t get a shot at connection.
Without connection, conversion is wishful thinking.
That’s why attention is Step One in my business development method.
Each step has its own enemy — and for this one, it’s Sameness.
Here’s how I fight it:
I start with the problem.
I make it specific.
I name the enemy.
My version?
“Prospective customers look at 100 people and see no difference between them. And differentiation, as a single person, is tricky.
Who is the enemy? Sameness is the enemy.”
That’s what I fight.
That’s what I’m known for.
If you want to stand out —
get remembered, get referred, and get in front of the right people —
Then you need to start not with what you do but what frustrates you.
Make your problem statement.
Name your enemy.
Now it is your turn. Tell me:
1 – What problem do YOU solve? For whom?
2 – Why is that a problem?
3 – What are YOU against? Who is the enemy?
Were you able to come up with the answers easily and quickly?
If not, do you want help with that?
Or even if you want to continue with other business development steps after that — you’ll like this:
