The "opposite" test

Posted on September 27, 2024 by Riccardo

When "positioning" something, if the opposite of what you claim is bullshit, what you claim is bullshit.

If you've ever heard any of the following statements:

  • Our company is customer-first
  • Our product is fast & easy-to-use

Ask yourself:

  • Would any company pick customer-last as a strategy?
  • Would any product go for slow & hard-to-use?

Nope. Because that's bullshit!
