A positioning maneuver: the gravity assist.

· Bits and Bobs 8/25/25
  • A positioning maneuver: the gravity assist.
    • Imagine there's some big category looming large in everyone's minds.
      • It has a lot of gravity.
    • It's a dead end, but everyone is focused on it.
    • Don't try to convince people to not be pulled into that gravity well, which takes tons of effort and will likely fail.
    • Instead of fighting gravity, use it.
    • Pitch it as "you can get the limited thing and also as a bonus get this other thing you don't yet realize you want."
    • The actual benefit is packaged as a secondary use case.
    • Pitch the use case as the primary with a bonus.
