PRODUCT Q&A
If you identify yourself as a basketball player then you’re placing your athleticism on the open market. General managers, athletic directors, and coaches are all interested in understanding why you deserve a spot on the team. You must be clear about defining your role relative to the audience.

Price What is your value?

1. Do I have a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)? 1. What’s my dramatic difference?
1. Appearance 2. Aptitude (e.g. intelligence) 3. Ability 4. Attitude
2. How can I use these factors to my advantage? 2. Does my USP need tweaking?
PRICE Q&A
Teams require individuals to play different positions. Are you a point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, or center? Can you shoot from the perimeter or do you possess a sick ability to layup the ball? Assess what you have to offer, and connect the dots between your benefits and your brand.

Position What is my competition doing?
MichaelPeggs.com I Property of Michael Peggs LLC
1. Who are my “clients” and how well do I know them? 2. What is the core message I’m expressing? 3. Does my core message resonate? 4. Is my message the same as the competition?
POSITION Q&A
Who else is offering what you intend to sell? You are not alone, and it’s important you understand the competition. At an exhibition game or a camp full of scouts, show that you work the hardest, have the most heart, or keep the team at the top of your mind. Nothing happens in isolation, and how you position your talents is what will begin to set you apart.

Promotion How will you share your story?
MichaelPeggs.com I Property of Michael Peggs LLC
1. Do all of my marketing materials express my brand image (business cards, resume, etc.)?
2. Am I managing my digital reputation? What do you find when you Google yourself?
PROMOTION Q&A
How will you share your story with your intended audience? It’s great to know thyself, but you must announce your gift to the world. If you build it, who will come? No one, unless you share your highlights reel, connect with coaches, and make visits to campuses. Good promotion develops your reputation, and great promotion closes the deal.
