What We'll Cover
01 Positioning
People often underestimate positioning because it seems so simple, and they frequently misunderstand what it is, too. They think it's about the space a product occupies in the market. But it isn't. It's about the space a brand occupies in a prospect's mind.
Spoiler alert: you want to be right at the top of it. And the easiest way to achieve this, of course, is to be first in line. Everyone knows Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon (apparently). But if you can't be first, you can still assume category-of-one status through your positioning – by showing you're not just better than your competitors, but so different that you have none. An online coach who transcends commodity and defies comparison.
I know this sounds unrealistic, but it isn't, I promise. Brands have been doing this for decades, with offers identical – never mind just similar – to their competitors'. Take Lululemon, for example, who managed to charge a small fortune for standard gym clothes by repositioning them as "athleisure." The fabric had already been used by utilitarian brands like Nike and Under Armour, but Lulu priced their products higher and sold them as something else entirely – aesthetic, casual pieces hot girls wore on walks, to get coffee, or for bottomless brunches. This made them a status symbol – something women bought to tell people who they were: trendy, popular, and financially comfortable.
02 Persona
Another thing I support people with is their brand persona – who their brand needs to be to connect deeply and meaningfully with their target market. One of the biggest things I see online coaches getting wrong is thinking that because they have a personal brand, they themselves are the brand persona – and feeling like they need to overshare, even trauma-dump, to gain any traction.
In actual fact, over-indexing on raw self-expression is one of the easiest, fastest ways to lose market viability. Yes, you need to humanise and individuate your brand to set it apart from others. But "more" is definitely not "more" when it comes to brand persona.
I know this is confusing when people are posting things like "YOU are the niche" with bios that promise to help you "get paid to exist." But we know from Optimal Distinctiveness Theory that a human's need for belonging and uniqueness are in constant tension. What this means for you is that you have to differentiate enough to stand out, while assimilating enough to still fit in – which is necessary for people to see you as someone safe and trustworthy.
When you work with me, I'll support you in finding that sweet spot, so you know that everything you share helps you rather than hinders you. We'll also make sure you show up as empathic as much as you do authoritative – because that's been scientifically proven to be the highest-converting combination – along with all the other characteristics and traits you want to be known for by everyone who crosses your digital path.
03 Messaging
Most marketing doesn't fail because the strategy's wrong. It fails because the message is too complicated.
This is because the human brain is hardwired to conserve fuel. It already uses around 20% of the body's daily energy, so when it's faced with a page or post that's too long or densely packed, its automatic response is to tune out and move on.
One reason for this has to do with cognitive load limits. Human memory can only hold 4 to 7 pieces of information at once, for a start – and the more complex they are, the harder they are to process. Another has to do with cost-benefit analysis. If dopamine (the brain's reward chemical) is high when reading, the effort's considered worth making. But if it isn't, the mind will wander to something more stimulating.
Signs you have a messaging problem include: finding your offer hard to explain, people only really "getting it" after a long conversation, and struggling to get people on sales calls because your website doesn't get any traffic, never mind any conversions.
When you work with me, I'll help you make your message simple, concise, and plain, so it's actually possible to process. And I'll ensure it's clear – obvious and unambiguous – so people are able to understand it, too. In a world of attention scarcity, clarity is critical, trust me. The answer to confusion is always no.
04 Verbal Identity
People don't just get lost in a sea of noise because they aren't saying anything different. They get drowned out because they sound like everyone else, too. Now AI's entered the chat, this has become a bigger problem than ever – because coaches don't just sound like their competitors in 2026, they sound like the most popular bots.
Half the industry sounds over-caffeinated, toxically positive, and unable to explain a basic concept without reaching for a simile. The other half sounds verbose, humourless, and overly cautious, because they can't stop making caveats. Can you guess which camp is using ChatGPT, and which is using Claude?
If you're utilising them too, then yes – it really is painfully obvious to all your readers. Even if you think you're removing the "tells" by deleting your em dashes and the word "quietly."
For some reason, people don't realise their verbal identity is just as vital as their visual one. That their voice, tone, grammar and lexicon are to their copy what their logo, colours and typefaces are to their graphics. That a consistent sound aids brand awareness and recognition, differentiates you from your competitors, and earns the trust of your target market just as well as a consistent look does. And because it's so rare, it's pretty much guaranteed to give you an edge.
That's why I always ensure my clients define and develop theirs inside my coaching container. In neglecting to do so, people miss out on countless opportunities to make sales in their business. Please don't let that be you.
