are you over achieving your sales quotas?

What’s your win rate? Is it hitting the 80% mark? If not, why not? Do your products and services create exceptional customer value? What jobs are your customers trying to get done? Do your Value Propositions help your customers get the job done better than any other available option? Does your Value Proposition create a unrivaled differentiation?

If your win rate is just 60% it means 40% of all the effort in your sales process is total and utter waste, very expensive waste. Think about it!

What about your core customer? Let’s call him Frank. Have you a clear definition of Frank’s profile? The core customers are buried within your existing customer base and as they drive profitable growth, pay on-time and are evangelists of your brand you must know who they are!

Does your brand promise speak to this person? Do you have KPIs to back up your brand’s promise?

Value Proposition Canvas

Build insights quickly to better understand your customers. The Value Proposition Canvas makes explicit how you are creating value for your customers. It helps you to design products and services your customers actually want and will pay for. Do this right, do it regularly and innovations will come faster, and cheaper.

The approach is to engage your customer base, not fear them or assume you know best. Your mantra should be the feedback loop of build, measure, learn.

Finding Frank

Who the heck is Frank? Do you sell to a market or a human being? Which customer profile is best for business growth? How can Frank help you win?

Franks already exist in your customer base, they pay on time, buy for optimal profit and are evangelists for your brand. Your Value Proposition clearly addresses the job they want to get done better than any other product or service.

Finding Franks and profiling them is critical to achieving sustainable growth. Know Frank better than your competition and you’ll develop business models and value propositions that are win: win.
