What’s Your Unique Selling Proposition?
At our monthly NCAE meeting Monday night, our guest speaker was Anne Sandler of PIZZAZZ Communications. She spoke to us about how we could each develop our USP – Unique Selling Proposition. Anne explains that your USP is your ultimate benefit statement. It should be one line and stated in about 7 seconds.
To develop your USP, write down who your customers are and what their needs are. Then write down your services and what you do to fulfill your client’s needs. Then what’s in it for your client? How do your services benefit them? Then you can take that to write down your Unique Selling Proposition.
Here at Chief Virtual Officer, our USP is: “I help my clients go from employee to entrepreneur.”

Do You Want to Buy from Me? (How to turn off prospects)
Everyone wants more business. We want more prospects to become clients and buy from us. We attend networking events hoping to find good leads. As we meet new people, we tend to come right out and ask, ‘do you want to buy from me?’ Do you like it when someone approaches you at a networking meeting and tells you all about how they can help you but never asks you about your business? Of course not! This is a great way to turn off prospects.
Instead of approaching people at networking events with the idea of pushing your business, attend with the thought of getting to know other people and their business. You start to develop relationships that build to a point where you can know what the other person actually needs and if they need your services.
We’ll talk about this in greater detail in our group coaching calls in May. Learn more at the Chief Virtual Officer website.
