Value Proposition Training Print E-mail
How does your organisation stand out from the rest? What value do you bring? What makes you different? These are questions companies are often asked by their customers. For 10 years, we have perfected a methodology for producing compelling Value Propositions so that your customers choose you. Unlike other methodologies, the Key methodology is easy to grasp, and has tools that are concrete and user-friendly. All of our customers that use this methodology have seen an increase in the clarity of their Value Propositions and experienced improved business opportunities. Because this training is based in your reality, you learn how to identify what makes you stand out from the competition and how to design strategies for communicating this to your customer. This means that by the end of the training, you have already completed some of the hard work. The purpose?  To win more business.


WHAT ISSUES DOES THIS TRAINING ADDRESS?

  • How can I win more business by communicating my value more clearly?
  • How can I differentiate myself from the competition to gain more customers?
  • How can I simplify and sharpen my messaging?
  • How can I put in place a clear and practical process for producing Value Propositions?

  • Understand the methodology for formulating Value propositions
  • Use a value analysis tool for analysing the value of your product/idea

DESIGNED ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS AND GOALS

Together with you, we look at your needs and goals. Based on this, we suggest the most efficient way to deliver this training. It can be, for example, intensive workshops, on-going individual coaching, consultation, or project work. Because we see the world as our workplace, we can deliver training at the location that best suits you. Training can be delivered in English or Swedish


WHAT HAVE PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS SAID ABOUT THE TRAINING?


Very Good. We worked on our own real cases, which was important. I received valuable knowledge on the subject. But the most important thing I learned was to make sure that there is consistency through the documentation.
Participant SKF, 2006

AAAA! I definitively would recommend this training because even if you think you are a "natural" at value communication, you learn how to organize your thoughts and skills.
Participant, Ericsson Greece, 2006
