What’s Your Problem-Proposition?

SBI

Before anyone will buy your product or service, they have to buy your value-proposition. There isn’t any way around it. Zero. Zip. Nada. Don’t even try. It always comes down to the value proposition. Except when it doesn’t. When is that? When you have to generate or maintain interest. Which is all the time. Don’t get me wrong. You can’t sell without the value-proposition.

SBI

I don’t go to Sunday brunch very often. It’s a rare treat. When I know I’ll be going, I try to eat light for a few days in advance – I know I’ll want lots of room in my belly. My favorite item by far, is the eggs benedict and so I’m careful not to over-do it on the other buffet temptations. One thing I never do at a buffet is limit myself to the Jell-O.
