4. What Is A Unique Value Proposition?
“The factor or consideration presented by a
seller as the reason that one product or service
is different from and better than that of the
competition.”
- The Entrepreneur.com encyclopedia

5. The Problem…
• Many businesses do not have a unique value proposition
• Those that do may have an Incomplete UVP
• UVP focus is on business value – lacks personal value

6. Why Do You Need A UVP?
• Makes you stand out from the competition
• Makes your offer more desirable
• If more desirable…more interest, engagement
and conversions
• Allows for easy qualification of prospects
(better qualified prospects means higher
conversions for the same effort)
