LESSON 02 OF 06

Say why someone should choose you

20 min guided session · 0 / 2 checks passed

WHAT YOU WILL PRACTICE

Write a clear value proposition grounded in a customer outcome and evidence.

01

Describe the outcome

Tell a specific person what useful change they can achieve. Features explain how; outcomes explain why it matters. Keep claims modest enough to support with evidence.

02

Name the real alternative

A customer may already use a spreadsheet, colleague or competing product. Explain a meaningful difference for their situation, including tradeoffs. Avoid claiming you are best for everyone.

03

Choose one next action

A first message should make the next step clear: view a sample, try a workflow or discuss a pilot. Match the commitment to the person’s current trust and understanding.

IN PRACTICE · ORIGINAL EXAMPLE

“A weekly invoice-checking service for independent bookkeepers. See missing fields before the client report goes out. Review a sample report.” This is more concrete than “Revolutionary AI-powered productivity for modern business.”

Keep in mind

Avoid guarantees, fabricated testimonials and performance numbers you have not measured.
