Marketing and Positioning Through "Better Call Saul"
📌 The core lesson is derived from Saul Goodman (Jimmy McGill) selling burner cell phones by focusing on creating a customer rather than just selling the product features, echoing Peter Drucker's concept.
💡 Saul successfully repositioned the product by selling privacy instead of technology, using a sign that read: "Privacy sold here."
🤯 He created artificial demand by feigning high interest from other customers and demonstrated the product's purpose (single use for untraceability) by destroying a new phone.

Targeting and Customer Agitation
🎯 Saul initially targeted individuals concerned about eavesdropping, vaguely suggesting threats like the government or the IRS to agitate their existing fears regarding cash transactions scheduled via phone.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 When initially rejected by younger prospects due to his attorney appearance (looking like a "narc"), he realized the importance of perception and packaging by changing into a tracksuit to resemble his target demographic.
🌊 Selling to the biker gang involved speaking their language, highlighting the pain point of needing private conversations within correctional facilities, suggesting the small phone size aided smuggling.

Business Strategy and Adaptation
➡️ Changing the sales focus from a saturated market (Red Ocean) to a niche market (Blue Ocean) is critical when sales stagnate; this involves moving your service to where the competition is low.
➡️ If selling services, go where the customers are (e.g., TikTok, LinkedIn) to reduce friction, rather than waiting for them to come to a low-traffic physical location.
🔄 The speaker applied this by pivoting from making commercials (a declining industry) to client direct work, brand strategy, and design, leveraging existing skills in a new market segment.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Positioning is defined as the space occupied in the customer's mind relative to competitors; sales success relies on finding customers for whom your product is the perfect solution.
➡️ To make a sale, agitate the problem properly and use the language and pain points the specific customer identifies with, allowing the sale to "sell itself."
➡️ If your business is not selling abundantly, consider if you need to change the lane you are in (adopt a Blue Ocean strategy) by targeting a different customer base with your existing skill set.
