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.

BUSINESS PROBLEM YOU SOLVE There are two skills necessary to leverage the power of a value proposition for all of your marketing activities.
