Create value.
Add value.
Extract value.
Value proposition.
The word "value" is tossed around by everyone. It's so ubiquitous that everyone pretends to know what it is. I did, too until I realized I didn't know as much about value as I should.
So I sought out mentors and learned more. As I was educating myself, I realized what the absence of a true understanding of value did to my consulting business. Specifically:
💵 🚫 I left loads of money on the table - money I could've used to reinvest or take home.
👻 I got ghosted by dream prospects because I couldn't articulate what I brought to the table.
⌛ My sales cycle was longer than necessary because I found myself having to "convince" buying committees about whey they should hire my firm.
A better understanding of why people buy and how they assess a thing's worth (a.k.a value) can not only help sidestep the above issues in your business, it can also help you build a cash-rich consulting business you can enjoy, grow and/or sell someday.
Ultimately, you started a consulting business for a reason. When you apply the principles of value to your business, you're only going to accelerate your progress.
