The guys finally turn the microphones on!

What makes you stand out?
What is your story beneath the story?

A story that is bigger than your product or service.
Your most loyal customers are the ones who feel that using your product or service was their idea, rather than the result of being "sold" by you.

Make sure that purchasing your product or service is considered to be an intelligent buying decision.
Status. Story. Attractive character.
Make them part of your marketing message.
