Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
Despite the necessity of having a unique value proposition, a majority of entrepreneurs and business owners fail to write a Unique Value Proposition. Of those who don’t, almost 100% fail. However, creating a UVP that suits your practice and speaks to your clients doesn’t automatically guarantee success.
This means you not only need a UVP, but you need an effective UVP. There are three main elements of any effective UVP, and these three points will help your clients remember you and establish you as the authority in your field.
A good UVP is especially essential in a crowded market. If you’ve got a lot of competition, your UVP needs to really stand out in the crowd. On the other hand, even if your business is the only game in town, you still need to create a UVP that speaks to your audience. It’s not only about battling the competition, but also establishing your brand in the minds of your customers.
