Imagine a sales representative who consistently closes more deals, is faster when compared to peers, never tires, always hits activity goals, and has an in-depth understanding of your product (or service). Sounds exciting, isn't it? Well that's precisely what AI Sales Agents brings to the table.

For AI Sales Agents to effectively communicate with your leads, first they need to uderstand your product. At AskToSell, we facilitate this by asking users to provide a title for their product or service, its value proposition, and pricing. This information is then utilized by AI agents to contact your leads, qualify them, prepare offers, handle objections, negotiate, and close deals. Let's explore examples and best practices on crafting your value proposition to optimize the performance of AI Sales Agents.


What is value proposition? 

A value proposition is a statement which identifies clear, measurable and demonstrable benefits consumers get when buying your product or service.

It's interesting to note, that the same product can have unique value propositions to different audiences. For instance, let's take a look at AskToSell's value proposition for two distinct audiences: startups and lead generation agencies.

Company: AskToSell

Product: Sales Automation Platform for Small Deals

Target audience #1: Startups

Value proposition: for startup founders, who seek to automate sales to small deal sizes where hiring sales rep or SDR makes no economic sense, AskToSell is a platform automates entire sales process - contacting your leads, qualifying, preparing offers, handling objections, negotiating, and closing deals, so you can efficiently hit your revenue targets.

Target audience #2: Lead generation agencies

Value proposition: for lead generation agencies, who seek to upsell their customers by offering deal closing services, AskToSell is a platform automates entire sales process for small deal sizes - contacting your leads, qualifying, preparing offers, handling objections, negotiating, and closing deals, so you can efficiently grow your agency with more revenue from existing customers.

At AskToSell, we recommend creating distinct products tailored to each target audience for optimal results. This approach enables our AI Sales Agents to communicate effectively using the specific language of each audience, incorporating industry-specific pain points and relief strategies.

How to write a good value proposition? 

Writing a value proposition involves identifying your target audience, understanding their needs and pain points, and clearly articulating how your product or service meets those needs and alleviates those pain points. It's crucial to highlight the unique benefits your product or service offers that sets it apart from competitors. The value proposition should be concise, clear, and compelling. It should answer the question, "Why should I buy from you and not your competitor?"

We recommend using the Geoff Moore Value Proposition method, which is a simple yet effective framework for crafting a value proposition. This method involves these components:

"For [target customer] who [needs or wants X], our [product/service] is [category of industry] that [benefits]".

For example, using the Geoff Moore method, AskToSell's value proposition for startups could be:

for startup founders, who seek to automate sales to small deal sizes where hiring sales rep or SDR makes no economic sense, AskToSell is a platform automates entire sales process - contacting your leads, qualifying, preparing offers, handling objections, negotiating, and closing deals, so you can efficiently (at x10-30 lower customer acquisition costs) hit your revenue targets.
