Introducing an out-of-the-box idea that a business's clients or customers are NOT buying products or services from the business. What they are in fact buying is an idea and a brand promise. 
Often, entrepreneurs make the mistake of focusing too much on their own end-game and forget to turn the focus on the perspective of their ideal target market. 
By discovering the ONE THING that an audience actually buys into gives way to define a company's brand, positioning, story, and ultimately how people connect with that business. It's quite empowering!
