No one tells you this when you start a business, but explaining what you do is way harder than building the damn thing.
At first, it’s easy.
You talk about it every day. You live it. You’re close to it.
Then you grow.
More people. More products. More markets. (Great problem to have, right?)
But here’s what happens next:
Your sales team is pitching one thing, your marketing team another, and your website sounds like it was written three years ago.
By the time you finish explaining what you do, your audience is more confused than convinced.
Confused prospects don’t buy.
In this episode, Ginger Zumaeta breaks down the five messaging moves that scale with you, so your story doesn’t crack under pressure.
→ The 5 Messaging Moves That Scale:
Clarify Your Core Message — The one sentence that defines your value.
Build a Scalable Messaging Framework — Structure that every team can plug into.
Simplify with Specificity — Ditch the jargon, keep the detail that matters.
Evolve with Proof — Replace opinions with real-world wins and credibility.
Stay Consistent Across Teams — Because clarity only counts if it shows up everywhere.
→ A Simple Framework You Can Steal:
The Problem We Solve → How We Fix It → Why It Matters.
The same structure Motive3 uses to align teams and sharpen narratives.
