Add this Power Phrase to Your Value Proposition

Your Authentic Value Proposition™ (AVP) has two purposes:

1. Create interest with prospects and COI’s, and
2. Teach your clients how to talk about you to others.

Part 1 of your AVP is: “I work with _______, who want to______ and ______.” This simple formula hits on many of the criteria of an effective AVP: brief, clear, and client-benefit focused.

I recently learned a Power Phrase that you can add to Part 1 of the AVP. It’s one of those “simple, but brilliant” things you can say to create curiosity and interest. Are you ready?

“Even though _______________” I told you it was simple.

So here’s how it might play out…

For example: “I work with small business owners who want to maximize their retirement contributions with pre-tax dollars and protect their family and business against life’s unexpected challenges. Even though they wonder if they can even afford to do so.”

Another example: “I’m president of Referral Coach International. We work with businesses that want to acquire more high-level clients through referrals and introductions, even though they’ve found it difficult to build a referral culture.”

Addresses Objections

What this “even though” statement does is to address one of the prevalent objections that enter into the prospect’s mind – usually unspoken to you.

If you tell a business owner that you’re going to help them maximize their retirement contributions, but they’ve been struggling to do so, they may shut down to this benefit – so it will have no impact on them.

What is your power phrase? List all you can – grab a colleague or team member to help you brainstorm. Whittle them down to a few of the strongest. Have a few from which you can pick to fit the context.
