CXL - it's tempting
I have 7 updates for you this week. 1. On my mind "It’s tempting to be a safe and boring company.
A safe and boring marketing strategy churns out safe and boring stuff. It’s inoffensive and, thus, beyond criticism.
You don’t stand out but also won’t get hit. Nobody will call you out. You’re just like everyone else.
The problem is, of course, that nobody will care, either.
Sure, some people prefer to buy from boring companies, but they already have one and aren’t looking for you."
