Leading the market and its expectations of value...
Every business's growth flattens at some point.
What differentiates the winners from losers are those who realize that simply serving markets, touting features and benefits, and trolling for active buyers (those who themselves have independently determined need) is a slow form of suicide.
Unless you're leading your target market's understanding of the future, how it translates to personal and corporate success, and the order of priorities to reach it; someone will be and it will be to their favor not yours.
In other words, you must rig the game...
To get there you have to define an ideal strategic destination that pursuing will allow your market to incrementally advance their capabilities and achieve greater returns on their goals and objectives; even if they themselves don't know what they are or are able to articulate them.
In doing so, you'll redefine and recontextualize the perception of value across your entire market—and in way that is most advantageous to your current value proposition and your overall market positioning. You'll gain the opportunity to educate and micro-manage the expectations of the market, simplify the understanding of your solution as part of a larger strategic opportunity, and more compellingly communicate that without your solution they stand to fall behind competition, leave money on the table and stay in the cross hairs of their board.
Market leadership is all about expectations...you either control them or they'll control you.
