Create a Unique Competitive Advantage for Your Business

What do you offer your audience that no one else can? Defining your unique competitive advantage is the foundation of a successful business launch. This course equips you with a framework for identifying your company's unique competitive advantage, from surveying the competitive landscape to pinpointing what sets you apart.

Introduction

When we show up to the present moment with all of our senses, we invite the world to fill us with joy. The pains of the past are behind us. The future has yet to unfold. But the now is full of beauty simply waiting for our attention. What makes you unstoppable in the marketplace? That's the very thing that your unique competitive advantage answers. Crafting your unique competitive advantage gives customers a reason to buy from you, informs your positioning, and drives your business strategy. This overview of unique competitive advantage also includes a look at WOW air and what makes their unique competitive advantage differentiated, unique, sustainable, and relevant in the market. 

Unique Competitive Advantage In Depth

Here are some great examples of companies that you will know and their unique competitive advantages. Included is an analysis of the unique competitive advantages of brands like Nordstrom, Amazon, IKEA, Apple, and more.

Your unique competitive advantage is what sets you apart from others in the eyes of your customers. You can build a resilient unique competitive advantage by following a four step process: evaluate your strengths and passions, analyze the competitive landscape, identify the core characteristics of your unique competitive advantage, and test it for sustainability, differentiation, and defensiveness. 

Time to evaluate your strengths (for both the business and yourself). Include in this list your passions as that will also drive your business.  

You must know your competitive landscape inside and out in order to come up with what makes you unique, special and different. Coming up with your actual unique competitive advantage is much easier than you think. It is also critical to your business' success.

You are not done until you test your unique competitive advantage to make sure it is truly unique. You must be able to defend this with any investor. 

Here we review the common mistakes that so many entrepreneurs make when coming up with their UCA. Let's make certain these do not happen to you.
