Synopsis

What separates average businesses from extraordinarily successful ones?
Better product? Nope. Your competitor will rapidly reverse-engineer your "secret
sauce" and get their "better-than-you" version on the market faster
than you can say "Usain Bolt."

Better customer service? Guess what? All of your competitors say they provide the
best customer service. It's a wishy washy phrase . . . a vague generality with no meaningful specific.

Better pricing? You're kidding, right? The company that lives on price dies on price.

More harsh reality: Almost all industries today struggle with the
increasing commoditization of their products and services, putting
considerable pressure on prices and margins, leading to fiercer
competition.

The Solution?

You must create an Uncopyable Attachment with your customers. 

They must see you as not only delivering a superior product but
also as a high-value relationship they simply cannot get anywhere else.

In Uncopyable, Steve Miller compellingly argues that new
advantage isn't found by going "outside the box"―you must actually build
your own box. Uncopyable will guide you to achieving an unfair
and enduring competitive advantage.

Real innovation is hard. I've spent four decades fighting to move business owners past the 'marketing incest' that occurs when they are competition centric in their thinking. And it is about thinking before it can be about anything else -- including growth, sustainability, profit. In UNCOPYABLE, Steve provides a clear challenge to the way a person presently thinks about his business. Now that copycatting occurs at the speed of light and classic price and profit protections are disintegrating, what Steve describes as the Uncopyable Mindset is more vital than ever."
