The more I can put out content that resonates with people, the more likely it is that they’re going to see me as a potential value-add. – Bruce Eckfeldt


The trap many salespeople fall into is trying to grow by doing more of what’s worked before, instead of letting an external force dictate their next phase of growth. Tapping into an area where demand is already flowing and lining it up with our skills can be an effective way to successfully break into a niche.

Once we’ve identified this space, we can get more ROI by reaching our ideal clients through a psychographic profile, instead of a demographic or industry profile.

By creating content that speaks deeply to who we can get results for, we can position ourselves to cut through the noise and attract the right people.

How do we identify a space with a new demand that we can take advantage of? Where can we find ideas for the kind of content our ideal clients will respond to?
