My Last Seattle Executives Association Meeting

Jul

Today was my last day at the Seattle Executives Association (SEA) meeting. I joined SEA back in 2003, and over the past 21 years, I've had the privilege of serving as a board member, treasurer, and president. It has been an incredible journey, and today I pass the torch to Ryan Heinrichs to continue our membership at the Seattle Executives Association.

During my time with SEA, I've made many friends, which isn't always easy when you're the boss of your own company. The association has provided a unique platform for building genuine relationships, both professionally and personally. It's a community where business leaders can connect, share experiences, and support each other.

I highly recommend joining an association like SEA if you own your own business. The opportunities for networking, learning, and growth are invaluable. It's been an honor to be part of such a dynamic and supportive organization, and I look forward to seeing Ryan and others continue to thrive within SEA.

In summary, my experience with SEA has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my professional life, and I am confident that it will continue to be a valuable resource for all its members.

It's Better to Excel in One Thing than to Have Many Average Features

Products that try to offer every feature tend to sell less over time. This is because they lack distinctive qualities, making it hard to compare them with competitors. As a result, price and brand power become the only selling points. Therefore, for products and services sold by small businesses without strong brand power, it's essential to highlight and promote one outstanding feature rather than trying to cover all functionalities broadly.

Until now, my company has believed that having all the features was important, but unfortunately, this has led to a loss of product distinction. Although I am confident in the quality of our offerings, they lack unique characteristics.

From now on, I think it’s important to focus on understanding customer needs and develop products with exceptional features that meet those needs, maximizing the appeal of those features. For example, if a software product has an incredibly user-friendly interface, we can attract users' attention by emphasizing its ease of use compared to competitor products. Conversely, trying to include every feature might compromise usability or increase the product cost.

By focusing on specific features, we can deliver a powerful message to the user base that seeks those features. Highlighting particularly strong features or unique technologies in PSPINC's services will enhance our competitiveness.

This strategy also has marketing benefits. By emphasizing the distinctive features in promotional materials, we can clearly convey the product's appeal to users. In summary, for small businesses to succeed in the market, it is crucial to focus on one outstanding feature and make the most of it.
