229 – Own Your Niche

Sales & Marketing, Podcasts

Content Sells Podcast

Subscribe

Your niche is the market you serve. And we’ve all heard the advice that “you’ve got to have a niche.”

But it’s not enough to have a super clear niche and really great messaging that speaks directly to them.

The missing ingredient that we’re seeing a lot in the content marketing of small business owners is that they’re not really OWNING (in a deep and profound way) the niche they’ve chosen.

In this episode, your hosts, Suzi Dafnis and Michelle Falzon explore what it means to really take “ownership” of your niche and WHY that’s crucial for the growth (and survival) of your business.

 

 

Listen to This Episode to Hear More About:

  • The shift Suzi has made in the last year to get even clearer on her niche (and why that took really OWNING who she most wanted to serve).
  • The questions to ask yourself to confirm if you’re really OWNING your niche or not.
  • Real life examples of a Lawyer and Naturopath whose business growth EXPLODED when they doubled down on their niche and took massive OWNERSHIP of who they serve.
  • Michelle’s counterintuitive advice for serving FEWER people in a deeper way.
  • Why your customers need you to go “out on a limb” for them (and how to do it in a way that’s safe!).
  • How owning your niche will turn the tap onto more sales and create a pipeline of eager customers.
  • Plus so much more!
