Many B2B value propositions fall flat because they sound like dozens of other similar statements, and fail to communicate in precise terms how the customer will benefit. Value messages must meet three criteria: They must describe value that is tangible, relevant to the customer, and unique to the vendor. The Shirman Group has developed this step-by-step process for understanding the context within which the customer is making their purchase decision, and developing tangible, relevant, and unique messaging.
