Episode notes

Brands don't sell products. They sell benefits. Protein bar company? It's not a meal. It's a consumer who wants to live a better healthier life. Selling soap? Nope, you don't sell soap. You're selling a clean home. Brands often focus on the product to their own detriment, not realizing one important thing; customers don't care about the sale. They just care about the purchase.

Jaime Schwarz, Founder of Brand Therapy, goes deep with us on this episode of The Longer Game to enlighten brands on how to stop hyperventilating over KPIs and instead, be mission focused. Working from a mission focus means you know who you're tribe is and you're going after them, no matter what your role is at the company. Put down your broom, pour some whiskey, and get ready for takeoff.
