1 Identify your assumptions

The first step to test your consulting value proposition is to identify the assumptions that underlie it. These are the beliefs that you have about your clients, their problems, their needs, and their preferences. For example, you might assume that your clients are looking for a specific type of solution, that they have a certain budget, or that they value a particular benefit. You can use tools like the lean canvas or the value proposition canvas to map out your assumptions and hypotheses.

En mi experiencia, es muy importante escuchar lo que la gente necesita y aportar valor en ello y saber transmitirlo en su lenguaje

2 Validate your assumptions

The next step is to validate your assumptions by gathering evidence from your target market. This can be done in various ways, such as conducting interviews, surveys, focus groups, or experiments. The goal is to test whether your assumptions are true, false, or partially true, and to learn more about your clients' pain points, goals, and motivations. You can use tools like the lean startup or the design thinking approach to design and run your validation tests.

Ask potential customers if your value proposition resonates with them. Are you addressing their core problems? Are you using words that help them see why you could support them? Also determine how competitors are positioned. Are they doing the same thing as you, but cheaper? Thats a bad sign.

3 Analyze your results

The third step is to analyze your results and draw insights from your validation tests. You need to look at both the quantitative and qualitative data that you collected and identify the patterns, trends, and feedback that emerge. You also need to compare your results with your competitors' value propositions and see how you can differentiate yourself. You can use tools like the SWOT analysis or the unique value proposition formula to analyze your results and craft your value proposition.

Para realizar este análisis de manera efectiva, debemos examinar tanto los datos cuantitativos como los cualitativos que hemos recopilado durante la experiencia. Esto significa mirar los datos, prestando atención a los comentarios y percepciones de los clientes potenciales. Al analizar estos datos, buscamos patrones y tendencias ya que queremos entender qué aspectos de nuestra propuesta resuenan más con nuestra audiencia y cuáles podrían necesitar ajustes. Sin duda es fundamental comparar nuestros resultados con las propuestas de valor de nuestros competidores. Esto nos proporciona insights sobre cómo podemos diferenciarnos y ofrecer algo único en el mercado.

4 Communicate your value proposition

The fourth step is to communicate your value proposition in a clear and concise way that appeals to your target market. You need to use words and phrases that your clients understand and relate to, and that highlight the benefits and outcomes that they can expect from working with you. You also need to tailor your value proposition to different channels, such as your website, your social media, or your proposals. You can use tools like the headline analyzer or the elevator pitch generator to communicate your value proposition effectively.

Primero, debemos asegurarnos de que nuestra comunicación sea clara y concisa. Queremos que nuestra audiencia comprenda de inmediato qué ofrecemos y por qué somos relevantes para ellos. Utiliza un lenguaje sencillo y directo para que tus clientes puedan relacionarse con tu mensaje. Un punto clave es destacar los beneficios y resultados que los clientes pueden esperar de trabajar con nosotros. No se trata solo de lo que hacemos, sino de cómo eso beneficia a nuestros clientes y colaboradores. Asegurar de que tu propuesta de valor resalte estos aspectos de manera convincente y comunicarla de forma efectiva es lo que nos permite conectarnos con nuestro mercado objetivo y atraer a los clientes adecuados

5 Monitor and improve your value proposition

The final step is to monitor and improve your value proposition over time. You need to track and measure how your value proposition performs in terms of generating leads, conversions, referrals, and retention. You also need to solicit and act on feedback from your clients and prospects, and keep an eye on the changes and trends in your market. You can use tools like the net promoter score or the customer feedback loop to monitor and improve your value proposition continuously.

If you're just starting out, the only right thing to do is to get to work and solve some real-world problems. It's good to know what your clients want and how your skills align with that, but you will only ever know if that is true if you go out and see if there's any demand for your skills. Otherwise, you just might connect the wrong dots for yourself.

The best way to know if you have a good value proposition and validate it to get product market fit is to do from the beginning JOB TO BE DONE. The only way to create a successful business is to SOLVE a real problem with a specific solution. But it is the basic: after the match, you should obsessed with adding extreme value to your customer to build differentials in your VP. In other cases, you will make a commodity which could be copied quickly. The extreme value is not only "customer experience" or Innovative solutions insolates; you should create a suite of innovations and the strategic vision to change the game of your industry.
