4 VALUE PROPOSITION Why should I buy from you? A value proposition is the primary reason why a prospect should buy from you. It is not a statement of what your business does, the market you serve or how you do your business. It is a statement of what you do for your customer that makes you unique. A value proposition is not usually determined: it is discovered. It grows out of the need of your customers. You must differentiate your offer from the competition. You may match a competitor on every dimension of value except one. In at least one you must excel. In this way you become the best choice for your optimum customer.
