Running it, start to finish

  1. Gather what customers actually say, not just what you say.
  2. Pick one claim and demote the rest explicitly.
  3. Read it aloud to someone outside the company and see if it survives.

What you get back

The output this produces, every time.

  • Forces a single primary claim and names which existing claims get demoted.
  • Requires each proof to be evidence rather than another claim.
  • Produces a do-not-say list, which stops dropped claims returning in the next campaign.

Getting better results

Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.

  • Test the claim against a competitor. If they could put their name on it unchanged, it describes the category rather than you.
  • Same claim, different emphasis per audience. Different claims per segment is how a company becomes unrecognisable across its own channels.
  • Act on the unevidenced proofs. A proof you cannot support is a task, not a message. Section 2 turns it into one.
