Cohort 07 Positioning Intensive 6 Weeks / Remote

Your work is ahead of your name

You've done the work. The room still describes you the way it did three years ago. Six weeks to close the gap between what you actually do and what people say you do.

[02] The Gap

There are two images of you. They don't line up.

One is the work you actually do now. The other is the version stuck in everyone's head. Every week they stay out of register, you pay for it in deals you never hear about.

01

You get introduced wrong

The person introducing you describes the work you were doing three years ago, and you spend the first ten minutes correcting the frame instead of selling.

02

You compete on price

When nobody can name what you're best at, the only difference left on the table is the number. So you discount to stay in the running.

03

The referrals dry up

People refer what they can repeat. If your positioning takes a paragraph, it doesn't travel past the room you're standing in.

The Registration
Method

Printers call it registration. When the plates line up you get a clean image. When they slip, you get a blur nobody can read. We line up your three plates.

01

Expose

We pull the raw material. Every project, every result, every sentence people already use about you when you're not in the room.

02

Develop

We find the one claim that survives contact with your actual receipts, and we cut everything that doesn't. Most people lose eighty percent of their bio here.

03

Register

We rebuild the bio, the intro, the site and the pitch off that single claim, so every surface says the same thing in the same words.

[05]Who this is for

Built for

  • Operators with a real track record and a bio that undersells it.
  • Anyone who's changed lanes and hasn't updated the story yet.
  • People getting referred for the wrong work.
  • Founders who need one sentence a client can repeat.

Not for

  • Anyone with no delivered work to point at yet.
  • People looking for a logo and a color palette.
  • Teams that want it done for them without being in the room.
  • Anyone who can't give the six weeks.
[06]The Intensive

Six weeks.
One sentence
that holds.

01
The Exposure Audit

A full inventory of your delivered work and the language already attached to it, pulled from your own material and from what clients actually say.

02
Six live working sessions

Ninety minutes a week, small group, cameras on. You leave every session with something rewritten, not a list of notes.

03
The Claim, on paper

One sentence, three supporting proofs, and the short and long versions of your bio, tested against people who don't know you.

04
Surface rewrite kit

Your intro, your site header, your profile and your pitch, all rebuilt off the claim so nothing contradicts anything else.

05
Ninety-day register check

One session three months out to confirm the positioning held once it met the market.

Nineteen years
rewriting the
first sentence

He spent nineteen years writing positioning for agencies that billed six figures for it, and watched most of it die because nobody in the client's building could repeat it.

Second Exposure strips that process down to what actually moves: one claim, proven by receipts, short enough to survive being retold by somebody else.

[08]Questions
How much time does this take a week?

One ninety-minute session plus about two hours of work on your own. If you can't give that, wait for a cohort where you can. The work doesn't compress.

Do you write it for me?

No. You write it, in the room, with the whole group pressure-testing it. Positioning somebody hands you is positioning you can't defend when a client pushes back.

What if I'm in two businesses?

Then we register one and park the other. Splitting the claim is the exact problem you're paying to fix.

Is there anything after the six weeks?

The ninety-day check is included. There's no upsell after that. You leave with the material and you own it.
