Coming Soon — Join the Priority ListMost Businesses Compete on Price. Control Point Businesses Don't Have To.
The average business is replaceable. A competitor opens down the street, drops prices 10%, and suddenly your customers have options. That is the position most business owners accept — and it is the reason most businesses never sell for meaningful multiples.
A control point business is different. It owns the chokepoint in a market — the place where money, information, or decisions must flow. Control point businesses are harder to build, but once established, they have pricing power, switching costs, and defensive moats that make them hard to dislodge. This field manual shows you how to find, build, and defend your control point.
