What you’ll work through

Leave with a better conversation—and a useful next move.

  1. 01

    Separate features and services from the value people actually receive.

  2. 02

    Identify the audience need your organization is especially equipped to meet.

  3. 03

    Clarify the credible difference competitors cannot easily claim.

  4. 04

    Draft a value proposition that can guide messaging, sales, fundraising, and creative work.

Make the tool useful

Do more than fill in the blanks.

Choose one audience

A useful value proposition becomes clearer when it is written for a real group of people, not everyone.

Name the meaningful change

Describe what becomes better, easier, safer, stronger, or more possible because of your work.

Test the language

Ask whether the statement is true, relevant, specific, and difficult for a competitor to copy honestly.
