#288: James “JC” Curleigh, CEO, Pelican Products – How to reframe what you sell
About this episode
JC Curleigh discusses how reframing what you sell can lead to greater business growth.
Most leaders think they’re in the business of selling their product. JC Curleigh thinks that’s exactly what limits your growth. And as CEO of Pelican, he’s helping the company make a profound shift: they’re not in the protective case business, they’re in the protection business. JC understands that great brands sell more than products, and he knows how to position them the right way. In fact, it’s how he led turnarounds at iconic brands like Levi’s and Gibson Guitars.
