The importance to Prospects• A client is more likely to buy your services –
and pay higher fees – if they can see a significant return on their investment and can understand the benefits you deliver
The importance to Buyers:• Buyers are attracted by a focused set of
propositions that deliver value and are aligned with a clearly defined set of client needs.
• Such propositions are easily understood and drive up fee rates & volume
The Market Proposition lever answers the question, “Why should I buy from you?”
