Why Some Messages Fit While Others Don't
BY JONATHAN HOFFSUEMMER
Product market fit isn't enough. This book is your key to breaking through today's noise. Drawing from behavioral science and deep market psychology, you'll discover how to create marketing that resonates with your market's mental filter. Because when your message perfectly fits your market like a key sliding into a lock, that filter starts working for you instead of against you. Your message doesn’t just pass through – it gets flagged, highlighted, and pushed to the top of their mental inbox. Filtered in, not out.
