A Preview From The Growth Codex

Stop learning
marketing backwards.

This isn't a collection of random tactics. It is a connected system for understanding markets, positioning, category design, copy, sales conversations and growth — then turning those ideas into practical decisions.

01 · THE MENTAL MODEL

The 5 questions that make marketing make sense

Before touching an ad, funnel or creative, the book gives you a simple map for diagnosing what problem you're actually trying to solve.

The Five Questions Every Marketing Framework Answers

1. Category — What category does this belong to in the customer's mind?
2. Position — What specific space does this brand occupy?
3. Availability — How does it get into relevant minds and stay there?
4. Message & Conversation — What moves someone toward purchase?
5. Engine — How does the system repeat, faster and cheaper?
02 · BYRON SHARP

The uncomfortable truth about “loyal customers”

One of the book's strongest lessons challenges a familiar marketing instinct: assuming the path to growth is simply squeezing more purchases from an existing loyal core.

“Grow penetration and loyalty improves largely on its own.”

The chapter then turns the idea into an operating question: where are the light buyers and non-buyers, and what prevents the brand from being mentally and physically available to them?

03 · MENTAL AVAILABILITY

Don't optimize for “awareness.” Map the buying moment.

A brand can be famous and still fail to come to mind when the actual buying situation happens. The book introduces Category Entry Points — the situations, needs and thoughts that trigger category consideration.

Category Entry Point Audit

Example: coffee isn't bought in one generic moment. “I'm tired,” “meeting a friend,” “it's cold,” “a guest is visiting” are different entry points.

Map the moments that matter. Then ask: how strongly is your brand linked to each one?

04 · 12 CONCRETE METHODS

From theory to “here's exactly what to do.”

The book doesn't stop at explaining mental availability. Chapter 6 provides a practical menu of twelve methods for building links between a brand and real buying situations.

01 · DISTINCTIVE ASSETAnchor one recognizable asset consistently to an entry point.
02 · CONTENT CALENDARBuild content around weak entry points instead of generic posting schedules.
03 · SEARCH / SEOTarget the language people use when the buying situation actually fires.
04 · POINT OF SALEMake packaging or landing pages speak to the relevant moment.
05 · RETARGETINGTrigger sequences from entry-point behavior, not just site visits.
06 · SPOKESPERSONBuild a recognizable human association with a specific occasion.
05 · EUGENE SCHWARTZ

Your copy can be good — and still be wrong.

The book teaches you to diagnose the prospect's awareness stage and the market's sophistication stage before choosing the claim, mechanism or opening.

14 Ways To Open A Piece Of Copy

Direct promise · new mechanism · provocative statement · specific question · command · hidden dream · hidden fear · universal image · shared resentment · projected triumph · projected problem result · projected accomplishment · testimonial/story · news/announcement.

06 · NEIL RACKHAM

Stop “closing” before you've built the need.

For complex sales, the book turns SPIN into a practical conversation sequence. The goal is not to guess whether someone is buying; it's to understand the value equation in the buyer's own words.

SSituation
Get only the context you genuinely need.
PProblem
Surface the real difficulty.
IImplication
Explore consequences and cost.
NNeed-payoff
Let the buyer articulate the value.
07 · THE MASTER DIAGNOSTIC

Audit a business through six lenses.

Near the end, the frameworks stop being separate chapters and become a diagnostic system you can use on a real brand, client or business.

CATEGORYDoes the existing category actually fit? Is there a credible POV to own?
POSITIONCan a stranger repeat the position accurately in one sharp sentence?
AVAILABILITYWhich category entry points are strong, weak or absent? Where is intent lost?
COPYIs the message matched to the audience's real awareness and market sophistication?
CONVERSATIONAre sales calls developing implication and need-payoff instead of jumping into a pitch?
ENGINEIs there a validated Aha moment, North Star metric and real testing cadence?
08 · GROWTH ENGINE

Find the leak before buying more traffic.

The Aha Moment chapter asks a deceptively simple question: what specific early behavior separates users who stick from users who disappear?

Analyze → Ideate → Prioritize → Test

Instead of endlessly launching disconnected tactics, build a repeatable experimentation rhythm around a metric that reflects genuine customer value.

09 · WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT

Six books. One operating system.

The Growth Codex connects evidence-based brand growth, positioning, category design, breakthrough copy, SPIN selling and growth experimentation into one continuous curriculum — from first principles to an integrated 90-day operating plan.

“Frameworks are tools. Tools are dangerous when you don't know which job the tool was built for.”
You've seen the system.

Now build with it.

The preview gives you the map. The full Growth Codex gives you the chapters, worked examples, methods, worksheets, cheat sheets and integrated operating system behind it.

THE GROWTHCODEX
How markets, minds, categories, copy, sales conversations, and growth engines actually work.
The mental map

Five questions.
One system.

The book is built around five questions: category, position, availability, message & conversation, and the engine that makes the whole system repeat and compound.

01

Category

What category does this belong to in the customer's mind?

02

Position

What specific space does the brand occupy — and is it distinct?

03

Availability

How does the brand get into relevant minds and stay there?

04

Message

What moves someone from a problem to wanting to solve it with you?

05

Engine

How do the first four steps repeat, faster and cheaper, forever?

Six foundations

Six bodies of knowledge.
One continuous curriculum.

From first principles
to live execution.

The Extended Edition is structured so a beginner can read from the beginning, while an experienced marketer can jump to a specific system and use that Part as a standalone manual.

PART 8

Modern Digital Playbooks

Built to be used

Not a book
to highlight.

The source material is rebuilt as a continuous teaching system, with worked examples, how-to methods, diagnostics, question banks, cheat sheets and operating plans designed to move from understanding to application.

01
Concrete methods

Chapter banks turn principles into named, buildable actions instead of leaving you with abstract advice.

02
Worked case studies

Examples show how the frameworks behave when applied to real business situations and marketing problems.

03
Diagnostic systems

Master diagnostics help you identify which layer of the system is actually creating the bottleneck.

04
Operating plans

The integrated system culminates in a 90-day operating plan and a repeatable method for generating tactics.

05
Applied digital playbooks

The final Part translates the framework into paid social, search, landing pages, outreach and growth loops.

Who it is for

One system.
Multiple operators.

FOUNDERS

See the whole machine.

Use the integrated model to diagnose where growth is constrained instead of jumping from tactic to tactic.

MARKETERS

Know which tool to use.

Connect brand, positioning, copy, availability and experimentation without treating each discipline as a silo.

AGENCIES

Turn strategy into delivery.

Use the diagnostics, question banks, methods and worked cases across client accounts and growth programs.

SALES TEAMS

Improve the conversation.

Apply SPIN principles to discovery and complex sales rather than defaulting to premature pitching.

GROWTH TEAMS

Build the cadence.

Create a repeatable Analyze → Ideate → Prioritize → Test rhythm around measurable growth problems.

BEGINNERS

Start from zero.

Part 0 provides the vocabulary and mental scaffolding needed before the deeper frameworks begin.

The core philosophy
Frameworks are tools. The real skill is knowing which question you are trying to answer — and then choosing the tool built for that job.
