Client What is your PURPOSE?
As a legacy brand with a purpose-led mission, it’s important to understand your why, your vision and your mission statement which will allow potential clients and customers to decide if they resonate and align with your offerings. They want to know they are in the right place.
Let's talk all things USP
“A unique selling proposition, or USP, is a tool used by salespeople to communicate the key factors that separate your product from the competition. An effective USP communicates your brand’s values and differentiates what your company offers through what you stand for and how this benefits your customers”. - Hub Spot

Let’s develop your TRANSFORMATIONAL statement
(The WHO , the PROBLEM & the OUTCOMES/PROMISE )
Here we develop a statement that speaks to who you are , which problem you solve & the desired outcome you are promising - i.e. long-term change.
WORKSHOP EXERCISE: Finding your Transformational Statement
Framework 1 - To start
I/We help < type of person > to < insert expected outcome > and < insert big possibility > – without < insert worry or concern >.
e.g I help busy executives like you, to tame anxious thoughts and master your own mind (even if you think you’ve tried everything!).
Framework 2 - To evolve
Change your relationship with < problem you solve > < realise big possibility >
OR
Stop/ Free yourself from < problem > < realise big possibility >
e.g 1: Change your relationship with chronic pain and get back in the game.
e.g 2: Free yourself from codependency and play the leading role in your life.
e.g 3: Stop sabotaging your weight loss. Lose weight and keep it off, for good!
Framework 3 - To condense (fewer words)
e.g. 1 Marie Forleo: “The world needs that special gift that only you have.”
e.g. 2: Regan Hillyer: “You absolutely can have it all.”
e.g. 3: Lyndi Cohen: “Be healthy but don’t give up 95% of your life to weigh 5% less.”
e.g. 4 Dr Maggie Yu: “Turn your autoimmune around, from the safety of your own home.”
Framework 4 - Combination
Once we develop the statement, it may feel right to condense it into a short more concise statement.
e.g The Holistic Psychologist: “The power to heal yourself. I make the practical tools for healing
accessible to everyone.”
