In a fair world, the best product would win


In a fair world, the best product would win.

But we don’t live in that world.

In the real world, the brand with the best distribution tends to win.

Or more accurately... the brand that can spend more to get in front of people.

Here’s what I mean.

Picture 2 different brands.

  • Brand A can spend $100 to acquire a customer.
  • Brand B can spend $200 to acquire a customer.

These two brands have...

... The same market.
... Similar offers.
... The same channels.

The only meaningful difference is that Brand B has built a system where they can spend 2X more to attract a customer.

Guess what happens....

Brand B shows up twice as often on the same platforms as brand A. Which...

... builds 2X more brand recognition
... doubles perceived trust (as most people trust what they're exposed to)
... gives them 2X more opportunities to make a sale with the same audience

The result?

Brand B wins because they can afford to stay in front of their audience for longer.

That’s what distribution actually is — the ability to spend more than your competition to acquire the same customer.

And here’s the part most people miss:

It’s not just about having more money from VC or an existing healthy revenue stream.

These things help for sure, but they're not the core of success. Plenty of successful brands are outmarketed by smaller brands because the smaller brands understand what the core of success is.

It’s about having a better model.

A model that attracts more people and gets them to pay you more in short order.

If you can get to breakeven or better on the front end — even if it’s just covering your ad costs — you’re already ahead.

Because now you can reinvest with confidence.

And you can outperform the competition who are afraid because they're stuck running campaigns that bring them views, but not buyers.

Real businesses grow when they acquire customers at close to breakeven, and extract more value on the back end.

That’s exactly what the ACCER model was built to do:

  • Bring in buyers at breakeven
  • Turn them into clients automatically
  • And create a system that pays for itself, then compounds

You don’t need a better product.

You need a system that makes your great product win.

Yo! If you saw yesterday’s email, you’ll know I’m doubling down on growing my YouTube. One big reason? Video content is stupid versatile. FB ads and Insta posts are cool, but they usually die on the platform they’re made for. YouTube? That’s different. A couple weeks ago, I built a system using some custom AI agents. Now, in 60-90 minutes a week, I can: Plan a YouTube video Script it Record it Edit it Optimise it for YT reach Chop it into 7–10 shorts Turn it into 7–10 long-form text posts...

For the better part of last year I dove into my own FB ad campaigns. Why? Cause I kept seeing people in groups, communities, and within my network who were posting how well the platform was working for them. So, jumped in with both feet and - got pretty damn good. I had an unfair advantage as I'd run them for clients in the past. However, over the last few months I've been toying with the idea of leaving FB behind and taking my ad spend somewhere new. It might seem odd. Especially as... My ad...

I’ve been holding space on my calendar this past week in case you wanted in on working 1:1 with me. But we’re at the end now. So I figured I’d ask... Should I release your spot? No hard feelings if the timing’s not right. I only take on a few 1:1 clients at once, and this isn’t something I keep open constantly. You’ve had the proof.You’ve seen how the model works.You know what’s included, what it costs, and what it can do when it’s implemented properly. The only question left is whether...
