Value Proposition
Quick definition
A clear statement that explains what problem you solve, for whom, and why you're better than alternatives.
Detailed explanation
Your value proposition is the core of your sales and marketing messaging. It articulates in clear language what value you deliver to customers. A strong value proposition answers three questions: What is the problem or need? How does your product solve it? Why are you better than alternatives (competitors or status quo)? It's not a list of features, but a focus on outcomes and benefits that matter to your target audience. A good value prop is specific (not generic), quantifiable where possible (percentage improvement, time saved), and resonates with your ICP's pain points. It must be understandable in 10 seconds and create immediate relevance.
