Who This Helps
This is for growth marketers tired of channel guesswork. If your product and ops teams are pulling in different directions every week, this weekly ritual will align everyone. It’s built on the Strategy Basics: Competitive Map course.
Mini Case
Aisha, a growth lead, was reacting to every market shift. Her team launched 3 new channel tests in a month with no clear winner. After building her competitive map, she identified one key segment wedge. She paused two tests, doubled down on the third, and saw a 15% lift in qualified leads within 30 days. The weekly meeting went from chaotic to focused.
Do This Now (5 Steps)
- Block 30 minutes every Monday morning. This is non-negotiable.
- Open your one-page strategy artifact from the Competitive Map course. If you don’t have one, that’s your first task.
- Review your Differentiation Grid. Look at one row of evidence about where you win.
- Ask one question: Did our top channel last week strengthen this win?
- Write a 3-bullet email to your product and ops leads with the answer. Send it before lunch.
Avoid These Traps
- Don’t try to track every competitor logo. Pick the right competitor set, not the biggest list.
- Avoid choosing three segment wedges. Picking one avoids diluted positioning.
- Stop building giant spreadsheets. A clean comparison grid with evidence is your goal.
- Don’t let the meeting become a data dump. Keep it to your one-page map.
- Never skip the Monday block. Consistency is the secret sauce.
Your Win by Friday
By Friday, you’ll have one clear channel metric to watch, not ten. Your product lead will know what you’re optimizing for. Your ops team will have stable priorities. You’ll have moved from guessing to guiding. And you might just get your Friday afternoon back. That’s a win worth celebrating with a proper coffee.
