About this book
Dunford's ten step process for positioning, treated as a deliberate exercise rather than a byproduct of messaging. The components are competitive alternatives, unique attributes, the value those enable, the customers who care most, and the market category you frame yourself within. Includes the five positioning styles, how to spot that a category choice is fighting you, and how to write a positioning document a team can act on.
