A Value Proposition
A value proposition is a statement that answers the 'why' someone should do business with you. It should convince a potential customer why your service or product will be of more value to them than similar offerings from your competition. Your value proposition is the core of your competitive advantage. It clearly articulates why someone would want to buy from your company instead of a competitor.
It's also one of the most important conversion factors. A great value proposition could be the difference between losing a sale -- and closing it. Your value proposition is your unique identifier. Without it, people don't have a reason to work with you over somebody else.
While your value proposition should help differentiate you from the rest of the industry, keep in mind it's not a slogan, tagline, or even a way to position yourself in the market. Those types of copy are important accessories to your brand, but your potential customers and employees don't choose one business over the other based on a high-level mission statement. Your value proposition goes deep into the problems you want to solve for people, and what makes you the right one for the job.
