33: How to make your one-liner so good they close competitor tabs

What is a business one-liner?
If the phrase alone makes you break out in a weird, panicky cold sweat because the idea of summing up your whole business in one sentence feels like emotional terrorism… you’re not alone.

 But here’s the magic:
 If you can nail your business one-liner, you suddenly know exactly what to put in your Instagram bio, on your website headlines, in your podcast intros, and in every “so what do you do?” moment life throws at you.

Because when you can articulate the value you bring, how you’re different, and why people need to buy from you — all in under 10 seconds — you hold ridiculous amounts of power.

And that’s what we’re doing in today’s episode.

 We’re getting you to the point where, whenever someone asks, “So what do you do?” you can answer with a calm, confident, “Oh, I got this,” instead of spiraling into vague, beige fluff that makes people slowly drift away toward the tiny hotdogs.

We are not doing tiny-hotdog energy today.
We are doing clarity, intrigue, and that irresistible “I need that” feeling your audience should have the moment you speak.

Let’s dive in. 

In this episode, we break down:

• Why your one-liner is the quiet powerhouse behind your brand strategy, brand voice, and sales copy — and why most people's versions aren’t actually saying anything at all. 
• How to find the core thread your brand stands for — the bold, spicy narrative that sets you apart from the sea of sameness.
• Why you must dismantle a status quo to differentiate yourself (yes, the cult analogy is back, don’t worry — minus the flower dresses). 
• The “Would I buy this?” test — your new litmus test for every sentence you write.
• The three ingredients of a magnetic, clear, scroll-stopping one-liner
• Real one-liner before-and-afters from clients (including the “work smarter, do less” example that would absolutely send Lucy running to the hotdogs). 

💫 Why This Matters

Your one-liner is not “just a sentence.”
 It’s the backbone of your:

• Website headline
• Instagram bio
• Podcast intro
• Networking pitch
• Sales copy
• Entire brand messaging ecosystem

If you can’t say what you do in one spicy, clear, vivid sentence… your audience definitely can’t repeat it either. And that means lost sales, diluted brand strategy, and way too many missed opportunities.

But once you nail it? You become unforgettable.
