Commercial tactics · Positioning & value proposition

Give buyers a reason to choose you that is not the price.

We find what you do better, for whom, and turn it into a value proposition every person in the buying group understands, from the engineer to the purchaser.

FIG. 01The situation

When every supplier promises quality, service and reliability, the purchaser decides on price.

Your sellers know why customers stay with you. But on the website, in proposals and in the first meeting, the message sounds like the competition's.

Without a sharp reason to switch, buyers stay with the supplier they have. And the deals you do win are won on discount.

FIG. 02What we see

Industrial buyers do not buy a product. A group of people buys a lower risk.

Most industrial decisions involve several people: the engineer who specifies, the operator who lives with it, the purchaser who negotiates and the manager who signs. Each one weighs a different risk.

A strong position answers all of them at once, with proof. It is narrower than most companies dare, and that is why it works: buyers remember the supplier who is clearly best at something that matters to them.

FIG. 03How we work

We start with your customers and end with words your sellers use.

  1. 01

    Hear it from customers

    Interviews with customers you won, lost and never met. What they needed, who decided and what tipped it.

  2. 02

    Map the buying group

    Who specifies, who influences, who signs and who can stop it, and what each of them must believe.

  3. 03

    Choose the position

    Where you play, for whom you are the obvious choice and why, tested against the alternatives buyers really compare.

  4. 04

    Put it to work

    Value propositions by segment and role, a sales story, proof points and the copy for web and proposals.

FIG. 04What you get

What you hold at the end

  • 01

    A position in one sentence

    Clear enough for every employee to repeat.

  • 02

    Value propositions by role

    What matters to the engineer, the operator, the purchaser and the manager.

  • 03

    A sales story with proof

    The narrative, cases and numbers your sellers bring to the meeting.

FIG. 05
