If you've ever looked around your industry and thought, "Everyone's offering the same thing," you're not imagining it. Every market has noise, and standing out isn't about shouting louder. It's about showing up differently.
Being unique doesn't always mean inventing something brand new. Often, it's about reimagining what already exists and delivering it in a way that feels distinctly you.
In this episode, I'm sharing how to uncover the magic within your existing offers and turn it into something people remember, connect with, and keep coming back for.
How to Stand Out When Everyone's Doing the Same ThingFind What Makes It Yours
The most powerful offers aren't built on more features or bonuses. They're built on connection. Your offer becomes unique when you infuse it with your story, your personality, and your way of working.
Ask yourself: What makes this mine?
Not in a buzzword sense, but in a human one. Maybe it's your sense of humour, your visual style, or how you guide clients through transformation. Those small, authentic differences are what make people choose you over someone else.
Create the Experience, Not Just the Offer
When everyone's teaching, selling, or coaching the same thing, what people crave most is a better experience.
Think about how your clients want to learn or engage, and design around that. My early group programs stood out because they were bite-sized, practical, and built for busy business owners. They worked not because the content was revolutionary, but because the experience was realistic, supportive, and easy to complete.
Ask the Right Questions
If you want to discover what makes your offer stand out, start by asking better questions:
What do people really want but aren't saying out loud?
What frustrates them about what's currently available?
How can I make this simpler, faster, or more enjoyable for them?
Honest answers to these will reveal gaps in your market that no one else is filling, and that's where your opportunity to stand out begins.
Design Offers You'd Actually Love
Your preferences matter too. If you don't like sitting through long courses, don't create one. If live conversation energises you, build that into your model.
When you create an offer that suits your own learning and working style, it will feel more natural to deliver, and your audience will feel that authenticity. The best offers come from alignment, not imitation.
Own Your Method
If you want people to remember your offer, name it. Brand it. Give it an identity.
People remember frameworks, not features. Whether it's a metaphor, a formula, or a signature system, a named process gives your work staying power. You've probably heard me mention Marketing Trees or The Ideas, Impact & Marketing Circle.
Those phrases are instantly recognisable, and that's intentional. They represent the methods I've developed, and naming them allows people to connect directly to that message.
Key TakeawayYour uniqueness isn't in what you sell, it's in how you deliver it. When you combine your personal style, your insights, and your way of doing business, you create offers that feel authentic and irreplaceable.
You don't have to be different for the sake of it. You just have to be you, consistently and confidently.
Your Next StepThis week, choose one of your existing offers and look for the magic within it.
What part of it only you can deliver?
How could you highlight or rename that element?
Could it become your signature approach?
Give it a name, brand, or visual identity if you can. When you own your method, you give your clients something tangible to remember, and that's what makes you stand out, no matter how crowded your market feels.
