Make a product’s value easier to understand

April Dunford treats product positioning as a practical business challenge: a product can struggle to stand out when its value is not clear to prospective customers. The second edition lays out a five-step process, from assembling a positioning team and identifying best-fit customers to differentiating against competitors and testing the message through a structured sales narrative. Updated examples and insights from Dunford’s consulting work connect the framework to product launches in technology and other fields. The book also addresses common messaging mistakes that can obscure what makes an offering distinct.
