Propositions (2)
The Building Blocks of a Successful
Customer Value Proposition
• the essential question is, "How do these value elements
compare with those of the next best alternative?”

proposition
– Points of parity are elements with essentially the same
performance or functionality as those of the next best
alternative.
– Points of difference are elements that make the supplier’s

– Points of contention are elements about which the supplier and
its customers disagree regarding how their performance or
functionality compares with those of the next best alternative.

• You are important to us and, through our partner-led
approach, we work with you to ensure planning and tax
compliance is fully integrated and operates effectively
within the context of your business, enabling you to
minimize risk, while delivering clarity and effectiveness in
your tax philosophy.
• Our account management approach ensures one single
partner has a comprehensive overview of the tax service
delivery. This provides you with a single point of contact,
allowing you to achieve rapid decision making, solve
problems and maximize efficiency.
• Our prices remain competitively aligned with the value we
deliver and are 10% less than the top global firms
