Value Proposition

Framework

A value proposition is not about what you think customers should want, but understanding that value is a subjective process called 'valuing' that humans go through predictably when problems become urgent. It requires focusing on what customers actually want (the emotional result and feelings like relief, hope, and validation) rather than what they say they want (the logical service or product features).
