The Consequential Triangle

Three behaviors, measured in what people do, not what they say they feel. A brand is consequential only when it earns all three.

Talkability
People mention the brand unprompted, recommend it and make it part of their own story.
Defensibility
People defend the brand when it’s criticized and stay loyal when a rival matches it.
Indispensability
People would feel a real gap in their lives if the brand disappeared tomorrow.
