How do you get your message heard above the noise? The answer is simple – fix the big hairy problems in a way that reduces risk for the customer.

To amplify your message, reframe your offer within the context of the big hairy problem. Identify big, ugly, critical problems facing your customers. If you can solve a big hairy problem, your customers will find the money to fix them. As you think about your offer, it doesn’t hurt to be controversial and provocative.

What does a big hairy problem look like? A big hairy problem jeopardizes the company’s ability to compete. A big hairy problem is hard to solve.  In the status quo, a big hairy problem is unaceptable. Fixing a big hairy problem, however, presents a huge risk for the owner – failure to solve the problem correctly puts the owner on the chopping block.
