This whitepaper is the third in a series entitled “Pillars of Success” by Bill Warner.

To have a winning business, you must have a winning product or service. Well, DUH!! That’s pretty profound.  It’s a simple concept, but it’s quite hard to actually accomplish. To have a winner, your business has to have a product or service that is focused on an attractive market segment, solve a well understood customer problem, have a financially compelling value proposition, be differentiated from your competitors, be effectively distributed, have excellent quality and be supported by outstanding customer service.   That’s a mouthful, but every single aspect of a winner has to be in place in order to succeed in today’s economy, which is now populated with very selective buyers who have a broad range of choices and not much money to pay for anything.
