Our notes

Gia Laudi, co-author of Forget The Funnel, argues that most messaging problems are positioning problems, and most positioning problems come from not knowing why customers buy. She contrasts shallow ICP data with real customer understanding, using her experience at Unbounce and a repositioning project with property inspection SaaS Milo that doubled trials in a month. She makes the case that solving an urgent pain matters most in crowded markets.
