Leadership:

• Don’t optimize offers or websites — optimize thought-sequences — by gauging the perception of value-force and value-cost

Sustainability:

1. You have to do something fundamentally different
2. Limit internal arrogance at the leadership level derived from ignoring consumers
3. Limit the all-in risk — focus on small discoveries that compound

Actionable Steps:

1. Try to see through the lense of the consumer
2. Employ the consumer mindset — understand their thought-sequence
3. Speak in their vernacular — ineffective communication proves to be costly

Articulate:

• Clarity trumps persuasion — once you can articulate the value with clarity — you will get an answer in return.

Value Proposition:

• Focus on developing a clear value-proposition — with an emphasis on the consumer and channel of communication.
