That’s a polarizing opinion.


A lot of people disagree with me, and that’s completely fine. It’s important to learn how to use polarizing opinions like these in marketing. 


What exactly is a polarizing opinion?


It’s a strong stance you take about something in your industry that you believe should be done a certain way.

  • It’s an idea you’re not willing to budge on because, through your own testing and experience, you’ve found it’s the best way forward.
  • This is a belief you stand by. It’s important to share those strong opinions in business.


Why are polarizing opinions crucial to business marketing? 


Polarizing opinions are how you attract the right-fit clients. If you’ve been in business for more than four years, you definitely have a polarizing opinion or two.


The next step?


Have the courage to share it.
