Crafting Valuable Propositions for Business Growth
At Creating Valuable, we believe that a well-crafted proposition is the cornerstone of business success. Unlike traditional consultancies, our unique, partnership-driven approach feels more like a business advisory service, fostering a jointly vested interest in your success. Our team of commercial leaders, with decades of experience across diverse sectors, specialises in non-physical proposition development—encompassing pricing strategies, marketing approaches, sales language, contractual terms, and innovative revenue models like SaaS with recurring revenue and auto-renewal clauses. Whether you’re a startup, scale-up, or established business launching new products or entering new markets, we help you design propositions that maximise shareholder value and drive value creation for business sales or exits.
What Sets Our Proposition Development Apart?
A Collaborative Partnership, Not a Lecture
Our approach to proposition development is rooted in collaboration, not instruction. We don’t lecture or dictate; instead, we engage in friendly challenges, knowledge sharing, and idea refinement. Our process involves probing discussions to uncover your business’s unique strengths and market opportunities, ensuring propositions are tailored to your goals. This partnership feels like an extension of your team, with a shared commitment to outcomes.
Expertise Across Sectors and Scenarios
With a team boasting extensive experience in propositional design, product placement, and sector-based strategies, we’ve helped businesses across industries—from technology and healthcare to manufacturing and retail—craft propositions that resonate. Whether revitalising sales of older products or launching innovative services, our commercial leaders bring insights from designing propositions that enhance shareholder value and support business exits.
Flexible Delivery for All Business Sizes
For smaller businesses or large corporations focusing on new initiatives, we offer flexibility. Our “pure delivery mode” allows us to execute proposition development with minimal distraction to your existing teams, delivering results swiftly and efficiently. For startups and scale-ups, we provide hands-on guidance, while larger firms benefit from our ability to source resources globally, leveraging team members in China and Asia for cost-effective, high-quality inputs.
The Power of Non-Physical Proposition Development
Non-physical proposition development focuses on the intangible elements that drive value. These include:
Pricing Strategy: Crafting pricing models that balance competitiveness and profitability, such as tiered pricing or value-based pricing.
Marketing Approach: Positioning your product or service with compelling narratives that resonate with target audiences.
Sales Language: Using precise, persuasive language to articulate value, tailored to different customer segments.
Contractual Terms: Designing terms that enhance customer retention, such as auto-renewal clauses or flexible payment structures.
Revenue Models: Implementing SaaS models with recurring revenue streams to ensure long-term financial stability.
By refining these elements, we help businesses create propositions that stand out in crowded markets, drive customer loyalty, and boost profitability.
Our Step-by-Step Process for Proposition Development
Our structured, process-driven approach ensures clarity and measurable outcomes. Here’s how we work:
Discovery and Insight Gathering
We begin with in-depth discussions to understand your business, market, and objectives. This includes analysing customer needs, competitor strategies, and market trends.
Idea Generation and Refinement
Through collaborative workshops, we brainstorm proposition ideas, challenging assumptions and refining concepts to align with your strategic goals.
Proposition Design
We craft the proposition, focusing on pricing, positioning, marketing, and contractual terms. For example, we might design a SaaS model with tiered subscriptions or reposition an older product with refreshed messaging.
Testing and Validation
We test propositions with target audiences, using feedback to fine-tune elements like messaging or pricing.
Implementation and Support
We guide you through rollout, providing marketing collateral, sales training, and ongoing support to ensure success.
Performance Monitoring
Post-launch, we track key metrics (e.g., sales growth, customer retention) and adjust the proposition as needed to maximise impact.
This process is adaptable, whether you’re a startup launching a new product, a scale-up entering a new sector, or an established business revitalising an existing offering.
Supporting Startups, Scale-Ups, and Market Expansion
Startups and Scale-Ups
For startups and scale-ups, a strong proposition is critical to gaining traction. We help you articulate your value proposition, differentiate from competitors, and design scalable revenue models. For example, we might develop a SaaS proposition with auto-renewal clauses to ensure steady cash flow, or craft messaging that appeals to niche markets.
Launching New Products or Entering New Sectors
Businesses launching new products or entering new sectors face unique challenges. Our team provides sector-specific insights and market entry strategies, ensuring your proposition aligns with customer expectations and regulatory requirements. We’ve supported clients in technology, healthcare, and retail, helping them position products for maximum impact.
Expanding into New Markets and Countries
Entering new markets or countries requires a nuanced approach. We conduct market research to understand local customer preferences, cultural nuances, and competitive landscapes. Our global network, including team members in China and Asia, enables us to source cost-effective resources and tailor propositions for international success. For instance, we might adjust pricing strategies to suit local purchasing power or adapt marketing to reflect cultural values.
Driving Value Creation and Shareholder Value
Our proposition development is designed to enhance shareholder value and support business sales or exits. By creating distinctive, market-leading propositions, we help businesses increase revenue, improve profitability, and attract investors or buyers. Our experience in value creation spans mergers, acquisitions, and strategic exits, ensuring propositions align with long-term financial goals.
