Blue Oceans Start with Why

Read our Amazon Start with Why post on WTE.net for more about why customers buy who you are not what you do.

Blue oceans begin with Simon Sinek's "why" because customers are drawn to brands that align with their values and beliefs. By clearly articulating your purpose and the driving force behind your business, you attract loyal customers who connect with your mission. Focusing on "why" differentiates you from competitors and creates uncontested market space where customers buy into who you are, not just what you do.
