How Value Propositions Bring Value to Your Business #167
In this episode we return to IoT World (see www.salesbabble.com/166) and show how Value Propositions bring value to your business. Not only do we talk about value, we show you the topic in action. First we finish up the IoT World interviews and meet Keith O’Byrne and Nancy Kazdan. Keith talks about how engineers are perfect for selling technology and Nancy shows how value propositions bring value when framing your selling process. We also have a guest appearance from our new sponsor Slidebean. CEO Jose ‘Caya’ Cayasso talks about the adventure of starting a start-up, why they picked the slide-deck market and how they’ve found success, again by adding value.

Keith O’Byrne – Asavie
Asavie Technologies makes connectivity simple according to Keith. Their mobility management and Internet of Things solutions manage, scale and secure connectivity across diverse networks. Keith talked about the need to have engineers in the sales process. They already speak the language and customers appreciate that! He sees himself as a technology evangelist. Selling is a part of that. When it comes to entering the sales profession he recommends “get stuck in…” Do it, give it a try, and it’s not as scary as it seems.

Nancy Kazdan – Market Share International
I saw Nancy give a terrific talk at IoT World. She believes a Value Proposition is a short framework you share with a prospect to see if they could be a qualified buyer. It’s an economical use of words to communicate exactly what value you bring to market.
Buyers want to know what you can do for them. Only talk in the language the buyer understands. They way to do this.
Focus on:
* Narrow market niche.
* Problem you’re trying to solve.
* Solution that will solve the problem.
Don’t describe all of this in “technology” speak. Translate the “language” of the new technology. Commonly a Value Proposition is only 10 Words.
What do you do with your Value Proposition? Place it on your LinkedIn profile, Facebook profile, LinkedIn Company Profile, or corporate website.
Remember it’s not about you, it’s about the value you provide.
