Are your words costing you customers?
It’s not your product. It’s not your team. It’s your message.
Most startups are bleeding money on marketing that doesn’t convert. Why? They’re building their entire go-to-market strategy on assumptions instead of data – which leads to what we call Message Misfire.
What Message Misfire Looks Like - And Why It’s Costing You
Skyrocketing customer acquisition costs
Dwindling investor interest
Missed revenue targets
Stretched sales cycles

The Problem?
Most companies never get out of it. They’re rushing to meet deadlines, chasing the next funding round, or pushing for rapid growth. We call it The Visionary’s Curse—when ambition blinds you to what your customers actually need to hear. And you forget to do the very work necessary for growth.
Our Solution: Strategic Message Mapping
Stop losing deals to competitors that tell a better story. Transform how you communicate with customers through a framework that:
- Know why your customers buy—no more guessing or copying competitors
- Align your entire GTM team —from first touch to closed deal
- Create content that actually drives pipeline—because every piece is built on proven customer insights, not assumptions
- Attract, engage, and convert more prospects—by meeting them with the right message at the right time
This isn’t just about better copy. It’s about shorter sales cycles. Higher conversion rates. Lower customer acquisition costs. And a clear path to scaling.
Our 4-Step Process to Help You Win
Align – with your customers and with your internal teams
- Deep-dive customer surveys and/or interviews to reveal what actually drives buying decisions
- Internal team surveys that expose costly messaging gaps
- Voice-of-customer data that replaces guesswork with certainty
Stop losing deals because different teams tell different stories. Start converting more prospects because everyone speaks your customers’ language.
