Key Takeaways:
The Right Fit Matters: It's not just about the numbers; it's about aligning with influencers who share your brand values and ethos. This congruence is key to authentic engagements and partnerships.

This is How to Analyze Your Competitors to Stand Out (Ep. 12)

In this episode, I'll be introducing you to a behind-the-scenes look at what my brand strategy session actually looks like with a real life client. Meet Colin Turner, a runner coach from Turner Fitness who recently pivoted his business from helping marathon runners out of injury to focusing on newbie runners who think running suck.
Transforming Colin's Brand: A Behind-the-Scenes Look
Here are a few things I covered in this podcast:
1. Finding His True Audience: Colin thought he was all about helping experienced runners, but listen to how I shifted his focus to beginners and those who practically run away from running based on evidence.
2. Competitor Analysis - The Eye-Opener: We played detective and looked through competitors who were on his doorstep. What we found was a pattern of missing opportunities and a lot of 'orange and red' competition chasing after marathon pros.
3. Website Transformation: I transformed his website to directly speak to newbie runner's who actually hate the idea of running - it's informative, approachable, and even a little snarky (because who says running has to be all serious?).
4. The Game-Changing 'Gait Analysis': I introduced a unique lead magnet called the Gait Analysis - a consultation that analyzes how you actually run to avoid future injuries.
5. Pricing Strategy: I increased Colin's prices to match the value he now offers, because let's face it, he's worth every penny!
6. Colin's Reaction? Priceless!: When Colin saw his new website, he was over the moon! The perfect blend of informative and fun, just like a run should be.
Key Takeaways
Find Your Niche and Embrace It: Colin found his gold by focusing on beginners, proving that sometimes, the unexplored paths lead to even better opportunities.
Understanding Your Competition is Key: Knowing what others are doing (or not doing) can set you up for a win.
Websites Should be Fun and Functional: Make your website a place where clients love to visit, not a maze they can't escape.
Innovate with Unique Offers: Stand out with something no one else has - like Colin's Gait Analysis.
Price What You're Worth: Don't sell yourself short. Your value is your victory lap!

Ensure your business name embodies the essence of your brand and your personal connection to it.
Steer clear of names that are only search-engine friendly but lack brand personality.
