Modern business gurus all cry for the need to innovate, to disrupt, and to act like a startup. It's hard to argue with that kind of thinking. It's sexy and exciting. But it's wrong. Too many businesses become enamored by shiny new objects and end up overlooking the value locked away in their existing products. Maybe your business is one of them. Iconic Advantage is a different approach that allows companies to leverage what they already have to create lasting differentiation and deeper relationships with their customers. It generates disproportionate levels of profit and protects against market fluctuations. Many of the world's most successful brands have been using it for years.

Summary
Have you come across any Nike shoes while walking down the street lately? If so, you have noticed some great shoes that are truly unique. These are amazing shoes that have proven to be important to the athletic world. Some of the world's top athletes wear these shoes in a variety of sports.
