Mind you, not every idea that sounds like a POV is good for your business!

A strong POV...is one that leads to you. You can recognize it by looking for three qualities:

  1. Distinct
  2. Essential
  3. Executable

1. Distinct

It is considerably contrarian in your category.

Example of a POV that is contrarian versus a POV that is conformist

2. Essential

Your buyers care enough about it.

3. Executable

You can consistently deliver on the expectations it sets.
