		<description>Sarah - thank you so much!  Yeah, we&#039;re probably found in the same aisle at Kroger . . . 

Happy Grams!  Keep up your great writing!

		<description>Dude...how incredibly ON THE MONEY. I love it. I&#039;m definitely all for being different -- if for no other reason than I don&#039;t have any real competition. I think you&#039;re a kindred spirit, man.</description>

		<description>Great stuff, Jeff. (And thanks for the generous accolades.)

In my experience, the &quot;observe&quot; part of that equation is the most critical component. It&#039;s too easy to &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; (wrongly) that we completely understand our market/audience. Often, the most important was to approach this process is to simply &lt;strong&gt;ask questions&lt;/strong&gt; of our best customers.

&quot;What do you feel is the greatest asset we bring to the table? Why did you choose our company over the competition?&quot;

These questions can help reveal our true asset, which is often the ingredient we have overlooked. Otherwise, we end up merely answering questions that aren&#039;t being asked.

Thanks, as always, for the guidance!</description>
