Now, many business people have incredible difficulty doing this, and I think it’s because they just think about themselves generically… they give great service or they have a wide range of products or they have good staff or a great location.

You’ve got to give them meaningful specifics rather than meaningless generalities. You’ve got to spell out what your great service is or why your location is handy or what makes your staff special, and so on.

The things that differentiate you may not have to be all that different.
