Why You Can’t Read the Label from Inside the Bottle

Why You Can’t Read the Label from Inside the Bottle - Illustration for Steve Davis and Talked About Marketing

There’s an old saying in marketing: “It’s impossible to read the label when you’re sitting inside the bottle.”

As a business owner, you are too close to your own work. You know the nuances, the history, and the effort. But your customers don’t. They just want to know if you can solve their problem. When you try to write your own marketing, you end up describing the “ingredients” instead of the “results”.

You need an outside perspective to see the label clearly. You need someone to tell you what the world sees when they look at your business.

Are you struggling to describe what you do? Is your marketing feeling “quiet”? You might just be too deep inside the bottle.
