Description

Category creation is the biggest positioning play out there. But how do you actually do it? Frida provides a solid 5-point plan: 



  1. Get absolutely aligned on the category you want to create internally.

  2. Get external prof your category concept makes sense. Speak with your customers. Get references. 

  3. Become the thought-leader within the category you're creating. You need to be top of mind and top of search.

  4. Work together with a third-party like G2 or Gartner to get that critical industry recognition (NB. This is not easy!)

  5. Build a community around the category to help it thrive and provide a source of new ideas.


GetAccept are succeeding with 1-4 and now they're considering how to approach 5. Check out the episode for a far more thorough breakdown.
