THE VISIONARY BRAND | The Power Triad | Product, Marketing & Sales

"Marketing is about values. It's a complicated and noisy world, and we won't get a chance to get people to remember much about us. So, we have to be really clear about what we want them to know about us." – Steve Jobs

 

This quote from Steve rings even more true today. In our world today, we must provide value-anchored brand principles that trickle down to all team members and our community. These voices communicate our brand and what we stand for in a world where few exist, and even fewer thrive!

In my new book, I discuss The Power Triad, the three engines that keep a brand alive and thriving; Product, Marketing & Sales. When working in unison with one another, these three engines create a beautiful concerto and realize ongoing success as they continue to grow the brand.

The Power Triad Formula;

1. ELEMENT 1; Product as the Idea Generator, Concept Creator, Disruption Machine, and Vision Realizer.
2. ELEMENT 2; Marketing as the Vision Translator, Bloodline Connector, and Bridge Builder between Product, Sales & your Community.
3. ELEMENT 3; Sales as the Executor of the Vision to the World.

The Power Triad is led by Product, supported by Marketing, and executed through Sales. They are independent and interdependent on one another, only able to achieve success through continued collaboration and respect for each other’s specific skill sets. If they remain independent, refusing to follow The Power Triad formula, they fail; if they achieve interdependence, relying on each other and following the proven formula, success follows.
The Product team is traditionally the visionaries, the crazy ones, who provide the ideas and realize the vision. The Marketing team brings this reality to life, giving it room to breathe and bloodline to match the brand Vision to the reality of a new idea, concept, disruption, or innovation. Without this breath of life, the understanding of the brand bloodline, the idea will never have life, and the concept will never see the light of day. Each piece is integral and crucial to the Product's success and the brand's longevity. From Product to Marketing, then Sales, this stepped formula and interdependence with one another is a formula for building a generational brand.

Finally, once the idea and vision have been realized, given life, and been aligned with the brand bloodline, from idea to reality, the Sales team executes the Vision in the marketplace.

The Sales team has been along for the ride during the evolution of the idea through concept and commercialization. However, the eventual breathing of life into the idea, understanding the “why,” “what,” “when,” “where,” and “how,” now has the weapons to achieve success in the marketplace.

Brands who do not follow a formula for the evolution of their brand do not have a passion for success. The passion for success is what Visionaries build into the brands and WHY they are a brand. As I always discuss, just because you SAY you are a brand DOES NOT mean you are a brand. A brand is an earned right with as much culture as Product. The culture is built through consistently excellent products, communicated through bloodline marketing, and sold to your select community, providing value beyond the Product. 

Follow The Power Triad formula, building interdependence between each team, following a consistent path to success, respecting the flow of innovation, translating the brand bloodline, and achieving revenue through selected brand channels.

 

Stay True, Stay Authentic, be Different, and be Great!

Enjoy the Journey!
