Tag: Value Proposition

Tell me if you’ve ever experienced this…

You’ve connected with your new prospect. You believe you can bring real value to -them. They seem to agree. But then… crickets. They keep putting you off. Or worse, they stop returning your emails or phone calls without a word of explanation. You don’t want to be a pest, but “What the heck?”

What went wrong? Why didn’t your prospect follow your recommendations?

Could it be that your prospect didn’t have a sense of urgency to act? And you didn’t help them?

I was having lunch with a financial professional last Friday and discovered that he has a “hole in his WHY.”

Meaning… he didn’t talk about his WHY is as powerful and effective way as possible. Therefore, he was missing opportunities to create strong engagement with prospects and clients.

I asked him to tell me what he told his prospects and clients about WHY he did what he did… WHY he believed in his work.

If your prospects are not returning your messages or your referrals seem to go nowhere, then perhaps you are not providing them with a compelling reason why they should respond.

On May 23rd I’ll be hosting a complimentary webinar designed to help you develop and communicate a compelling value proposition. While there are many things to consider in developing a compelling message, today I’d like to address 6 critical elements that should be present whenever you talk about your value.

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. Keep reading to learn the phrase and how you might use it in your AVP.
