Positioning with April Dunford

How to Manage a Big Positioning Change

I get asked a lot by people about today’s topic on how to manage a positioning change within an organization. It applies to big and small companies and even those going through acquisitions. 

In today’s episode, I cover:

  • The times when your positioning might change
  • How to figure out the frequency of assessing your positioning 
  • The complexities of changing your positioning after an acquisition
  • How to test your new sales pitch after you change your positioning 
  • And more

  • I also want to mention my new book, Sales Pitch, is out!
