• What’s your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)?

• What do you stand for?

Why should I, your prospect, choose to do business with you

versus any other option available?

THE BIG QUESTION IS?

“Do business with us because we’re pretty much the same as our competition – but we’re

really good at it”

The Typical Answer is:-

Why bother with a USP?

Without one you are easy prey for competitors and knock-offs
