The Golden Circle | Differentiate Your Brands Value Using This Simple Technique

Bria Ziter • May 24, 2021

Simon Sinek once said, “People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe.”


The most successful organizations think, act and communicate following the golden circle technique and starting with the question, why?


Want to better inspire your customer and clients? Think of the Golden Circle.

→ Start your story at the center of the circle by answering WHY - Why do you do what you do? Why are you solving this problem?


→ Next, move onto
HOW - How will you do what you do? How will this help your readers?


→ Lastly, answer WHAT - What are you offering? What do you do?

Why does the order in which you communicate your story matter?


We buy with our emotions, and communicating the WHY and HOW, communicates with our feelings and our emotional behavior.
