If you missed our Klue Quarterly celebration… then this is for you. We didn’t want to deprive you of all of the goodness shared throughout the event.
 
Especially our opening session led by our VP Win-Loss, Ryan Sorley.
 
He shared the three biggest reasons win-loss fails inside of businesses. In short:
 
1. Ignoring exec level buy-in with key stakeholders prior to launch
2. Failing to plan what you’re looking to learn and how you’ll measure
3. Keeping these insights to yourself.
 
He also shared exactly what to do to avoid each of these pitfalls.

    πŸ€ How did Air Jordans stomp the competition?

    It’s 1984. Nike are on the verge of shutting down their basketball division.


    Then they land a partnership with a young rookie named Michael Jordan. And they launched the first ever signature shoe in basketball: the Air Jordans.

     

    The shoes were anti-establishment. They were controversial.

     

    And they became the launch point (excuse the pun) for Nike to dominate the industry over the competition.

     

    Check out the latest episode of Ready for Launch to learn more about Nike’s strategy, the launch of the Michelin Guide, and the origin of the engagement ring as Andy, Oaks, and Tamara compete to share the best ‘pre-internet’ product launch.
